Is there any documentation on how to use this thing?

download the app, mount the dmg, read the documentation file ... admittedly, it's somewhat light on information, but then this is not an app for the faint of heart or the light of brain ... :)

MacKrack worked perfectly for me. Downloaded and ran it, entered my admin password, it extracted the hashes for all users on my system and tested their strength. One of 14 user passwords was cracked within 24 hours and I alerted the user to change their password. Thank you for a great implementation and - as far as I have found - the only program that handles the salted sha1 hashes from tiger on its own. Good work!

What is this "most dishonest crackers are located offshore..." crap? What sort of idiotic comment is that?

Lets just ask you that question, since you're the one who said that comment.

What johannes rexx really said was:
"Only a dishonest cracker located offshore would attempt such a thing". How does that translate into "most dishonest crackers are located offshore"? Would it help if he punctuated the sentence for you?

"Only a dishonest cracker, located offshore, would attempt such a thing"

Is that clear enough for you?

Isn't that still saying that a dishonest cracker located onshore wouldn't attempt such a thing?

Polly want a cracker!

That's hilarious -- the app actually asks you for your password in order to extract the local password! I certainly hope most aren't so gullible to walk past that one.

Only for 10.3 and 10.4 hashes does it require a password, but for 10.2 hashes it doesn't. This is just because of the way the permissions in Mac OS X are set up. If you know a way to extract 10.3/10.4 hashes without knowing an administrator password, please do the world a favor and tell. Until then, shut up.

I just wanted to make sure, as the developer, that everyone understands that macKrack doesn't actually phone home whether for version checking or any other purposes. It doesn't make any network connections at all, and anyone with basic knowledge of how to use tcpdump or Little Snitch could verify that. So don't worry. I was just kidding before about the Russians....

Some reviewers have expressed concern that MacKrack might "call home" and reveal cracked passwords and other personally identifying information.

The reason I doubt this is because it would be blatantly obvious to detect and document it. Only a dishonest cracker located offshore would attempt such a thing.

How about an installer that asks for your admin password? How do you know it's not really the program doing this and phoning home?

The way around a lot of this is to distribute code under the GPL so users can judge for themselves if anything is phoning home by reading the code.

Does Adobe software phone home when you run it? Does iTunes? Does RealOne. How about Azureus or eDonkey? Muahaahahh!

Sometimes, no, sometimes, no, no. Acquisition does, though.

'The way around a lot of this is to distribute code under the GPL so users can judge for themselves if anything is phoning home by reading the code.'

This only helps if you're capable of building the app yourself. This is an old trick used by programmers for ages.

There is no necessary proof the source you read is what made the program.

Smell the coffee.

Excellent! I'm a bit disappointed though it doesn't send all my info to the FBI, tut tut, where would we be without paranoia.

Nice app and useful (although not everyday), Thanks.

I think the phrase is: "I would not bother with this dog", but then again I am just guessing.

Actually it does call home, and report to me all the passwords you cracked along with your IP address, email address, name, address, phone number, weight, and the names of your children. I review it all while cackling demonically, and promptly sell all the information to the Russians (none in particular). But seriously -- what does "I would bother with this dog" mean?

Would you feel better if the application WASN'T free? Jeez... just because I write software for free my intentions are in question? Anyway, all password crackers are free as an unspoken rule (LC aside, because its creators are the evil capitalists). Which is not to mention that all the software I've ever written is free.

Anyway -- as mentioned by neil_m, Little Snitch is a good program to make sure apps aren't calling home.

LOL Good one. ;-)

Can anyone verify that this thing does not "call home" with other information. A free application that can crack passwords sound a bit suspicious to me. I would bother with this dog.
