Subject: Need a little help cracking one password
I wish to crack a root password from one of my servers. For practical
reasons, I cannot reboot the system in single user mode and change the
password. I have done this times past for other servers.
It just so happens that I used the same password on another server, and
created a passwd file with the one entry. I am running the John that
comes with Fedora 22, the docs cay it is 1.10 2013/05/29.
John has been crunching away for 20 days on a Lenovo x120e notebook
without finding the password. Well I know a few things about this
password and I would like to instruct John o be selective on what it
tries. But I am a bit of a hack and need so hand-holding on how to
alter /etc/john.conf (or make another) that will target the password.
I know the password is 10 characters long.
I know that the first position is either 'x' or 'X'.
The second is a digit, as is the third.
The forth is alpha, and I don't know the case.
The fifth is either 'q' or 'Q'
and soforth (either digit, some alpha, or a specific alpha of either case)
How do I set up what amounts to a mask on possible passwords to try?
thank you for your assistance.
