I'm attempting to do a crack run on our NeXT workstations top make sure we
have a secure password choices. I got ufc compiled and crack all put
together, gathered a huge amount of dictionaries to use, only to discover
that while crack compiles and runs without complaining, it doesnt
successfully crack any passwords.
I put my password in the dictionary with a couple other words, and gave it
a short password file with my encrypted password. I made sure to clean up
fully before running crack, and yet, it can't guess my password. Running
crack in verbose mode shows the each attempt, and when it attempt my raw
password against my encrypted password it just breezes by, thinking they
are not the same.
Has anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions where to start looking
to fix it? Anyone actually ever run crack on a NeXT box (Intel or NeXT
hardware)?
