Bob the Butcher For Linux

Bob the Butcher project is a distributed password cracker package.

This is ALPHA software, full of bugs, some of them being likely to be security holes. Besides, there is no client authentification, so anybody could impersonate a client and alter your search results.

Only use it on a trusted network!

Here are some key features of "Bob the Butcher":

� Cipher's near source compatibility with John the Ripper. Bob the Butcher benefits from the fast algorithms that have been develloped for John:

Traditionnal DES Solar Designer BSDI DES [BROKEN] Solar Designer FreeBSD MD5 [BROKEN] Solar Designer Windows NTLM (MD4) MMX/SSE2 bartavelle Windows Cache (mscash) bartavelle Raw MD5 (hex-encoded) bartavelle Raw SHA1 (hex-encoded) bartavelle MySQL passwords Noah Williamsson Netscape LDAP SHA Sun-Zero Netscape LDAP SHA MMX/SSE2 Bartavelle Lotus Domino Jeff Fay Oracle Passwords Bartavelle

� Password cracking speed scales linearly with the number of cracking clients. � Central server that can handles several jobs, supporting different priorities (in the future. � Smart keyspace distribution when several jobs are using the same algorithm (not for now).

Build instructions

Only works on pentium or later!

./configure --enable-debug make cd bob_client ./bob_client -b

If it segfaults, try again with:

./configure --enable-debug --disable-sse2

bob_server

Just run ./bob_server -k SECRET_KEY

bob_admin

Use it to add jobs and check status. For now only he following commands work:

newjob : add a new job status : gives general status jobinf : give detailled status

Don't forget to use the -k switch for PSK.

bob_client Put this one on as many computers as possible, and just run:

./bob_client -d -k SECRET_KEY server_host_name

What's New in This Release:

� Bugfixes in cyphers, support for Solaris, and a prototype Python server.
