Summary0000773: file to do unshadow and john as one
Description

I find it hard to crack linux shadow files with john/unshadow, so I created a shell script to do it all in one. I have attached the file to this report. Please consider including this small script in the next Kali release to make cracking linux passwords just a little easier.

Thanks in advance for your consideration.

#/bin/bash

echo "enter location of passwd file"
read passwdfile
echo "enter location of shadow file"
read shadowfile
echo "enter output file"
read outputfile
unshadow $passwdfile $shadowfile > /tmp/crackedpasswd.db
john /tmp/crackedpasswd.db --format=sha512crypt
john -show /tmp/crackedpasswd.db > $outputfile
rm -f /tmp/crackedpasswd.db 
exit 1

Thanks for the suggestion, I don't think we need this in Kali.
