Nutcracker is a simple, fast, and effective password cracker for UNIX and Linux systems. It is faster than the other crackers available. Disabled accounts and accounts with no password are detected. Results are shown in a nicely-formatted table. A sample password file and dictionary file are included, although you can use any word list you wish (including the file '/usr/dict/words' included with most Linux distributions). Nutcracker will work with '/etc/passwd' or '/etc/shadow' files.
