cracker

Cracker is a small program to perform a wordlist attack on VNC handshakes in John The Ripper format.

Please run it with -h for a complete listing of options.

For legal use only.

Example

./cracker -p ~/.john/john.pot -w /tmp/rockyou.txt ./vnclowpot.log

Details

Cracker extracts John The Ripper-formatted VNC handshakes from the input file(s) (or the standard input if no files are given), and tries each password in the wordlist against each handshake.

As VNC limits passwords to 8 characters and Cracker performs no deduplication, passwords may be tried multiple times (e.g. if both password and password123 are in the wordlist.

Cracker does not crack in parallel. Pull requests are welcome.

Potfile

A John The Ripper-compatible potfile (or, really, the one JtR uses), can be used with the -p option to speed up cracking by first checking the potfile for known handshake/password pairs.
