Running / Building John the Ripper on the Jetson-Tk1

Autonomous Machines Jetson & Embedded Systems Jetson TK1

Hi,

I am currently trying to run/build JtR on a Jetson-Tk1. I have been able to successfully build with cuda/openMPI enabled but am having trouble running the test.

The error I get when running ./john --test is

Could not find section [List.Generic:dynamic_1000] in the john.ini/conf file
Segmentation fault

This error does not occur when I build and run with the same configuration on my other machines. From reading the documentation, dynamic_1000 should not exit and creating one still results in a segfault.

If anyone has been able to build and run JtR help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Forgot to mention, This is with the latest bleeding jumpo version of JtR.

Thanks

Do you have a URL to the source you downloaded, and a description of any config you used?

So far as I can tell the program lacks install information. Some of the documentation suggests just using “touch” to create john.ini, but once this is done you end up with the error you found concerning “section [List.Generic:dynamic_1000]”. The program cannot be expected to succeed without config. Unfortunately, the make install step does not create any kind of template for this. I’d suggest searching online for the content of the ini file.

FYI, there are other problems in the software with possibly non-portable code between x86 and ARMv7. Alignment issues may or may not be a problem once you have a valid ini file.
