Does anyone know how to get john the ripper to work in 10.4? I want to test the passwords on my machine. I tried the instructions on the following site: http://www.wap.org/journal/crackmacpasswords.html

However, after loading the passwd file and running john it says no hashes loaded. I think it's because I need to use the "unshadow" utility before using john. I tried the following command:

:~/Desktop/john-1.7.0.2/run $ ./unshadow /etc/passwd /var/db/shadow/hash > mymacs.passwd
fgets: Is a directory

I see about 4-5 ".state" files in /var/db/shadow/hash. Do I just randomly try one of those?

Anyone can help me get this working I'd appreciate it. Thanks!
