I'm going to try to crack some of those password to see if they might give us some info.

I don't think FB1 has anything to do with FBI, just a coincidence.

Several people did extensive cracking attempts on it. Those three passwords were the only ones I found with a 14.4 million hit list, using the standard hybrid settings. The only other thing that I could think of trying is a distributed brute force attack, to try unlikely combonations. (FYI: My wordlist can be found at http://s88749232.onlinehome.us/bigdict)

I don't know about FB1 being a coincidence the probability against that is astronomical. I think it's probably an egg. Perhaps it's a subtle hint that most of these are not ment to be broken?

I'm going to assign my Linux server to it. What i'm going to do is a real bruteforce attack, and if those passwords is valid i will get them, sooner or later. But it will take time.

One would assume that since this is posted in a thread about Shadow.txt, he is just brute forcing the password file, and not any of the servers Smile

If he is, of course, then it's not a good idea. But it's worth a shot with the shadow file. I just doubt you are going to get anything more.

And I thought brute forcing steganography was bad Magesteff?

Yes, i'm bruteforcing the shadow.txt file, not the servers... i don't have anything to loose by doing it, the computer i'm using didn't do anything anyway... If there is a valid password, i think its worth getting it.

Ok, after 9 days, 25 min, and 43 seconds, I have gotten tired of my computer being so slow. Smile

I give you my resume file. This works out to somewhere around 3,428,229,200 attempts. That's a lot of processing time.

To resume my attack, use the command "john -resume:restore.txt", but your encrypted file must be named shadow.txt.

EDIT: Lets realy attach the file this time.

I will let my server run until it is finished, even thought i don't think it will be to any use since nru don't exist any longer. I'm not sure about how many attempts it tried so far, but it should be a lot of them Wink

Btw, where can i find the IRC channels about acheron?

If by "finished" you mean finishing the brute force attack, you'll be waiting a long while Wink

(It will continue untill it finds them, even if that means grinding its gears into dust)
