-============================================================================-

The Global kOS passwd KracKing Package made by The Raven

for use with Cracker Jack made by The Jackal.


The following files should be included in this package:

ADD2KOS  BAT        198  Merge another wordlist with the kosdict.
AP1KRACK BAT        189  KracK passwd file with 1 appended to kosdict.
GECKRACK BAT        563  KracK passwd file with GECOS information.
GECOS    BAT        195  Create GECOS file from passwd file.
KOS      BAT        368  Main kOS KracK batch file.
KOSKRACK BAT        147  KracK passwd file with the kosdict.
KPGKRACK BAT        187  KracK passwd file with random passwords.
LOFKRACK BAT        177  KracK passwd file with lowercased first char kosdict.
LOWKRACK BAT        172  KracK passwd file with lowercased kosdict.
REVKRACK BAT        168  KracK passwd file with reversed kosdict.
SINKRACK BAT        958  Krack passwd of single user.
VUEKRACK BAT        157  Display KracKed passwords.
SHADOW   C        2,321  Long program for getting shadowed passwds.
UNSHADOW C          203  Short program for getting shadowed passwds.
GREP     COM      7,023  Searches text files for strings.
KOSDICT  DOC  3,237,206  The kOS Dictionary.
KOSPGEN  EXE      3,936  The kOS Random Password Generator.
KOSSTRIP EXE      3,024  The kOS File Stripper.
LOWERFST EXE      2,864  The kOS First Char Lowerer.
GLOBLKOS NFO      3,536  The Global kOS Info File.
README   TXT      3,845  The file that you are reading, duh!

* MOST OF THESE FILES REQUIRE THE CRACKER JACK PACKAGE! *
* But the kOS Dictionary should work with all crackers. *

	The main purpose of this package is to release The kOS Dictionary.
The BATch files are included to allow you to take full advantage of it.
Place all of these files in the same directory as Cracker Jack to install.
They are very simple to use.  Just put the passwd file that you want to KracK
in the same directory as these files and you are ready to begin.  If you do
not know what a passwd file is or how to get one, you might as well stop now.
If you are having trouble with shadowed passwds try the C programs I threw in.
You can type KOS to run all KracKing methods or you can run them individually.
1st, type GECKRACK to attempt KracKing with the GECOS fields of the passwd file.
Then type KOSKRACK to KracK the passwd file with the kOS Dictionary, or can try 
several variations on the kOS Dictionary with AP1KRACK, LOFKRACK, and REVKRACK.
These can take several hours to run, but can be interupted and then restarted
by typing KOSKRACK -R to resume KracKing.  If this does not get all of the
passwords that you want, you may want to try using random passwords
by typing KPGKRACK [####] with the number of tries you want it to make.
You can use SINKRACK [login] to attempt high-speed KracKing on a specific user.
You can type GECOS to create a wordlist file from a passwd file, and then 
you can type ADD2KOS GECOS.DOC (or any other wordlist file) to merge it with
the kOS Dictionary.  And, in case you are still wondering, you can type
VUEKRACK to display the KracKed passwords and save them in kracked.doc.
Hopefully this package will help you with your testing of system security ;-)

Enjoy!

 The Raven
