John The Ripper not working

[jdouliez]

Issue

Hi,

With a fresh new default container, the program John The Ripper is not working.

john --fork=4 --format='dynamic=sha512($p.$s)' --wordlist=`fzf-wordlists` hash
zsh: no such file or directory: /opt/tools/john/run/john

The john alias is set to /opt/tools/john/run/john

alias | grep john                       
john=/opt/tools/john/run/john

But the executable file is not present :

find / -name "john*" -type f 2>/dev/null
/opt/tools/john/run/john.conf
/opt/tools/john/run/john.zsh_completion
/opt/tools/john/run/john.bash_completion
/opt/tools/john/doc/extras/john-1.7.9-jumbo-7-licensing-stats.txt
/opt/tools/john/doc/extras/john-1.7.9-jumbo-7-licensing.txt
/opt/tools/john/src/john.asm
/opt/tools/john/src/john.com
/opt/tools/john/src/johnswap.h
/opt/tools/john/src/john_mpi.c
/opt/tools/john/src/john_mpi.h
/opt/tools/john/src/john.h
/opt/tools/john/src/john_build_rule.h
/opt/tools/john/src/john.c
/usr/share/seclists/Passwords/Software/john-the-ripper.txt

Tested on stable and web images.

FIX

Installing (the classic way) john from apt fixes the issue.

apt install john
unalias john

Hey there,

Thanks for reporting the issue.
I'm testing it aswell, the source code of jtr is already there, but indeed it only needs to be compiled.

Waiting the pull request, a cleaner fix in order to use the source code already present :

cd /opt/tools/john/src && ./configure && ./make

--> It creates the missing /opt/tools/john/run/john binary file.

@TonyRode @jdouliez can you make sure john is working as you'd expect? (on dev branch or with the dev dockerhub image)

Hey Shutdown,
I've just tested it on a fresh build from master branch right now. It's fixed :)

Didn't try dev one (yet).

@TonyRode awesome, thanks!
I'm closing this since a fixed master implies a fixed dev.
