Greetings.
I am having problems with john the ripper (first time I try it). I have an excercise where I am supposed to crack this: user:NTUzNTM2MDA=. But when I ran:
john file.txt
john -single file.txt
john -wordlist:password.lst file.txt
All of them say Loaded 0 passwords, exiting...
I don't know what is the problem and I don't find any answers to this situation in the net. Please help.
So how big is your password list? I don't personally use John the Ripper.. but from other tools it coold be as simple as a corrupted List file.. or empty one..Quote:

You said you dont use john. What password crackers do you use? I am using Linux.
First.. my bad.. I miss read your post.. And yes .. it appears to be an issue with the Hashes list..ie your file.txt..Quote:

Current password tools.. are Cain and Ophcrack... but often the password is of no concern so then it's Locksmith
Usually that means something about the format of your password file isn't something it can read...otherwise it would come back and list the number of passwords and the type of hash, even if it didn't have a wordlist to use.
