FastKrak A small utility to check your users for easy passwords. It takes a password file which consists of words with no more than 8 letters (run your dictionaries through wfs to strip excess words). It then tries to crack the users passwords, if it manages to do so, it saves the login name and the password in a separate file. For comparison : on a 030, KillerCracker gets 80-90 cracks per second, FastKrak manages 220+. Use the FastKrak for your computer for best result (oh, really??) There is no 040 specific executables, 'cause there are no differences in the 030 and 040 versions. WordFileStripper Takes a wordfile, strips letters above 8, also strips duplicate words (which you get when the last letters are stripped). That is why you have to sort the dictionary first. Dictionaries can be found at ftp ftp.funet.fi Maybe in te directory /pub/unix/security/passwd/dictionaries or something, I can't quite remember those awfully long paths. Anyway, have fun Comments and suggestions Email : Espen.Berntsen@himolde.no
