John the Ripper is a fast password cracker, currently available for many flavors of Unix (11 are officially supported, not counting different architectures), DOS, Win32, BeOS, and OpenVMS.
It supports several crypt(3) password hash types which are most commonly found on various Unix flavors, as well as Kerberos AFS and Windows NT/2000/XP LM hashes.
Several other hash types are added with contributed patches.
What's New in This Release:
Bitslice DES code for x86-64 that makes use of the 64-bit mode extended SSE2 with 16 XMM registers has been added for better performance at DES-based crypt(3) hashes with x86-64 builds on AMD processors.
A new make target for FreeBSD/x86-64 has been added.
