About John the Ripper
John the Ripper is a password security auditing and recovery tool that cracks password hashes across many formats and operating systems. Because it is self-hosted, you decide where the data lives, who can access it, and how long it is kept, with no per-seat lock-in. It also plays well alongside other self-hosted tools, since open interfaces and standard protocols make integrations and automation much easier to build.
