cli password cracker

[orange1]

i suck. a few months back i was using a command line password cracker to make sure my users were using safe passwords [two were using their usernames as passwords].
now, i can't for the life of me remember what the name of it was. i've seen a few gui ones for classic, and a few gui's for x that i didn't like all that much. i really liked this cli one. just feed it a file with the password hash, and it would spit to stdout whatever it could figure out.
anybody know which one i'm talking about?

Well, there's Crack, at <A HREF="http://www.users.dircon.co.uk/~crypto/" TARGET=_blank>http://www.users.dircon.co.uk/~crypto/</A> and there's John the Ripper at <A HREF="http://www.openwall.com/john/" TARGET=_blank>http://www.openwall.com/john/</A>.

I've used Crack, it's pretty easy. I haven't tried building either on OS X/Darwin. Once I get my <A HREF="http://fink.sf.net/" TARGET=_blank>Fink</A> installation to work I'll make a package for one or the other. (I've got these evil library version problems that only seem to occur on my computer. [img]images/icons/mad.gif"%20border="0[/img] )

If you're willing to use Fink, you might file a <A HREF="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=371315&group_id=17203&func=brow" TARGET=_blank>package request</A>.

To be fair (I'm a bit biased toward Fink [img]images/icons/wink.gif"%20border="0[/img] ), I should say that you could add it to the forked.net <A HREF="http://macosx.forked.net/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=forum&f=5" TARGET=_blank>request forum</A>.
