Summary	0005206: *2john utilities no longer available
Description	With the latest kali upgrade, all *2john tools (zip2john, keepass2john, etc.) have been replaced with a symlink to the john binary and the original tools can no longer be used. Expected behavior: root@kali:~# ./keepass2john Usage: %s [-i <inline threshold>] [-k <keyfile>] <.kdbx database(s)> Default threshold is 1024 bytes (files smaller than that will be inlined) Actual behavior: root@kali:~# ./keepass2john [usage of john] root@kali:~# uname -a Linux kali 4.19.0-kali1-amd64 0000001 SMP Debian 4.19.13-1kali1 (2019-01-03) x86_64 GNU/Linux root@kali:~# lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Kali Description: Kali GNU/Linux Rolling Release: 2019.1 Codename: n/a root@kali:~# apt show john Package: john Version: 1.8.0.13-jumbo-1-0kali3 Priority: optional Section: admin Maintainer: Kali Developers <[email protected]> Installed-Size: 52.1 MB Depends: libc6 (>= 2.14), libgmp10, libgomp1 (>= 4.9), libssl1.1 (>= 1.1.0), zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.4), john-data (= 1.8.0.13-jumbo-1-0kali3)

sbrun 2019-01-14 14:41 manager ~0010208	zip2john, keepass2john, etc. were already symlinks to the john binary. After checking keepass2john and some other commands are now standalone programs and should be installed accordingly. But zip2john must be a symlink to john binary. And it should work properly with the current version.

pryon 2019-01-14 18:18 reporter ~0010209	zip2john indeed does work with the current version, I somehow missed that when I was checking the tools - sorry, my bad.

sbrun 2019-01-15 14:41 manager ~0010218	fixed in version 1.8.0.13-jumbo-1-0kali4
