1347 sats \ 1 reply \ @nichro 29 Sep \ on: How to crack encrypted SSH keys with John the Ripper security
Aww I was just starting to procrastinate by spinning up a Kali VM to take a crack at it and now I see it. Oh well, good timing! Good learning too. Next challenge maybe :P
Follow-up question: how long did it take you to brute-force this one (assuming you used GPU too)?
Edit: I don't normally use Kali but WSL was being a prick about building John The Ripper and i know Kali has John installed and ready to go so I figured... I despise dealing with end-of-line formatting shenanigans between Windows and Linux/WSL

Oh sorry, I guess I wasn’t patient enough haha. I zapped you the bounty here as the winner of hearts.
Next challenge maybe :P
I’m thinking about something using metasploit or other popular pentesting software. 🤔
how long did it take you to brute-force this one
Just a few seconds even without a GPU since I ran it on a cheap server.
