How To Install crack on Fedora 34

crack is Password cracker

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install crack on Fedora 34.

What is crack

Crack is a password guessing program that is designed to quickly locate insecurities in Unix (or other) password files by scanning the contents of a password file, looking for users who have misguidedly chosen a weak login password. This package creates a group named “crack” and the Crack program puts all its results in the /var/lib/crack/run directory, which belongs to that group. Only users in the crack group can use this package.

We can use yum or dnf to install crack on Fedora 34. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install crack.
