If I want to create a wordlist, using JTR to mangle a source list by applying its default rules to them I can do this like so:

# john -rules --stdout --wordlist=/usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt | head
Press 'q' or Ctrl-C to abort, almost any other key for status
123456
12345
123456789
password
iloveyou
princess
1234567
rockyou
12345678
abc123

However, if I want to apply non-default rules to the wordlist, John doesn't like it:

# john --rules=Jumbo --stdout --wordlist=/usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt | head
Extra parameter for option: "--rules=Jumbo"

This ruleset works fine when cracking hashes:

john hashes.txt --wordlist=/usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt --rules=Jumbo

Why can't John apply the rules to the wordlist and output a list rather than only being able to crack using a rulesset such as Jumbo?

Or am I missing something?

I just tried it and it works fine for me. Make sure you have a new JtR. I'm using 1.8.0-jumbo

sample output:

./john -rules:Jumbo -w:password.lst --stdout | head 
Press 'q' or Ctrl-C to abort, almost any other key for status
123456789

  • Can I do preformated output in comments?

    @Xander: Now that it includes sample output, I'd say this was an acceptable answer. Previously though, I'd agree and say it was more appropriate for a comment.

  • @Marcin - Just tried it again and it appears to be working. Even the exact syntax I posted above in my question now works. Confusing indeed. I'm using 1.8.0-jumbo as before.
