Subject: Re: help with Johnny GUI for OSX

Hi Aleksey,

Thank you for the response.   I am getting John to run (I see the list of commands)

I then drag the file, but I get Permission Denied.  I am logged in as admin, and I have set permissions on the rar files.

Any clues?


Also will segmented Rar files work as well as single files?

Thanks,

You need to build Johnny from sources to get Johnny working because
there are no prebuilt binaries for Mac OS X. It would involve terminal
window so I guess it would be easier to work with john directly.

It is ok because there is no johnny as a program suitable for running.

It is a good start.

Let's try with John!

Unfortunately Johnny is not finished yet. It would not let you use all
the features John pro has. Johnny has very limited support now. I hope
that Johnny will meet your dreams someday.

Well, let's open the terminal. Open the finder also. Navigate to
john's directory in the finder. Drag john onto the terminal, you'll
see its path on the command line. Type space. Then in the finder
navigate to your rar file for cracking and drag the file onto the
terminal. Press Return / Enter key in the terminal to start your
command. Is it easy? What does john say after that? Does it return
immediately? Did it find the password?

Thanks!
