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 http://www.users.dircon.co.uk/~crypto/ and there's John the Ripper at http://www.openwall.com/john/.

I've used Crack, it's pretty easy. I haven't tried building either on OS X/Darwin. Once I get my Fink 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. )

If you're willing to use Fink, you might file a package request.

To be fair (I'm a bit biased toward Fink ), I should say that you could add it to the forked.net request forum.
