Yescrypt – PHC Finalist from OpenWall, John the Ripper

I nearly got thrown out of uni for using JTR to easily crack hundreds of NIS password hashes conveniently served by the CS dept. boxes:

    getent passwd > passwd.txt && john --show --wordlist=dict.txt --fork=6 --stdout --session=lose-your-scholarship passwd.txt

Where dict.txt is from https://crackstation.net/buy-crackstation-wordlist-password-... (and buy the OpenWall list, or donate, to support them too)
