- This is Crack v4.1, the "Sensible" Unix Password Cracker.
-
- - Documentation is in the directory 'Docs' - go for it...
-
- dicts.rules is now up to 240 entries, mostly thanks to mycroft @
- gnu.ai.mit.edu; don't lose heart, its not as bad as all that... 3 weeks
- of CPU isn't all that long, really... Seriously, most of the rules
- generate really small dictionaries, so it's not all that bad. 8-)
-
- There are several additions to the dictionary rules, notably the
- character class commands and the i, o, = and @ commands.
-
- Use of "Crack -R" (as opposed to "Crack -r") is not recommended until I
- write v5.0, unless you know exactly what you're doing and why it bombs
- out on you...
-
- Also, Crack now fully supports UFC (the latest version of which is to be
- posted concurrently with Crack v4.1) - all you should have to do is
- unpack the latest version of UFC into the directory
-
- ufc-crypt
-
- which you should create in the Crack installation directory. The
- program should do the rest.
-
- Happy cracking !
