Johnny - GUI for John the Ripper

Johnny is an open-source GUI for the popular password cracker John the Ripper. It was proposed by Shinnok.

1. export of cracked passwords through clipboard,
2. export works with office suits (tested with LibreOffice Calc),
3. user could start, pause and resume attack (though only one session is allowed globally),
4. all attack related options work,
5. all input file formats are supported (pure hashes, pwdump, passwd, mixed),
6. “smart” default options,
7. accurate output of cracked passwords,
8. smooth work, i.e. no lags,
9. config is stored in .conf file (~/.john/johnny.conf),
10. nice error messages and other user friendly things,
11. many minor fixes to polish ui.

Available binaries are listed below.
