John the Ripper is a fast password cracker, currently available for many flavors of Unix (11 are officially supported, not counting different architectures), Windows, DOS, BeOS, and OpenVMS. Its primary purpose is to detect weak Unix passwords. Besides several crypt(3) password hash types most commonly found on various Unix flavors, supported out of the box are Kerberos AFS and Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 LM hashes, plus several more with contributed patches. SlackBuild contain updated version of Ryan Lim's patch for john the ripper to support MPI. MPI allows you to use multiple processors on a single system, or a cluster of systems for cracking passwords using john the ripper. You need in this case OpenMPI, also available from the SlackBuilds.org repository. But the author of the program does not recommend use any hacks for parallel processing (see in the bottom of page http://www.openwall.com/lists/john-users/2005/08/24/4). Use it at own risk! Slackbuild contain also jambo patch. The jumbo patch enables processing of many password hash types and ciphers that are not supported by the official JtR. Both patches are disabled by default. Note this will not build in parallel, set MAKEFLAGS="-j1" if you have problems.
