Title says it all, I can't tell if John is just crashing or "gives up" on cracking the hash. First I start off by creating an md5 hash out of a word I KNOW is on the rockyou.txt wordlist:
echo -n 'password' | md5sum > testhash
After removing the hyphen at the end of the test hash file:
5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99
Now I attempt to crack the md5 hash using the following John the Ripper command:
john --format=raw-md5 --wordlist= /usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt testhash
I get the output:
Loaded 1 password hash (Raw-MD5 [MD5 256/256 AVX2 8*3])
No password hashes left to crack (see FAQ)
Then I run:
john --show testhash
Which outputs:
0 password hashes cracked, 2 left
Sorry if I'm doing something terribly wrong, but I'm at a loss here. I'm assuming it's something wrong with how my installation of John on Kali Linux is handling the wordlist. Thank you in advance!
