Does John the Ripper method take so much time to crack the password? It's been 3 hours since the process started. No output yet and my PC specs are lower than you think.

    No, we can't crack hashes for you. I removed that part of the question.

  • If the password is very long and not in your wordlist, then it could take days or weeks.

If you are using the incremental mode of john, the time frame fully depends on the length of the password. A very long password may take weeks, months or even years to be cracked.
