UNSHADOW(8) System Manager's Manual UNSHADOW(8)NAME
unshadow - combines passwd and shadow files
SYNOPSIS
unshadow password-file shadow-file
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the unshadow command, which is part of the john package. This manual page was written for the Debian
GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. john, better known as John the Ripper, is a tool to find
weak passwords of users in a server.
The unshadow tool combines the passwd and shadow files so John can use them. You might need this since if you only used your shadow file,
the GECOS information wouldn't be used by the "single crack" mode, and also you wouldn't be able to use the '-shells' option. On a normal
system you'll need to run unshadow as root to be able to read the shadow file.
SEE ALSO john(8), mailer(8), unafs(8), unique(8).
The programs are documented fully by John's documentation, which should be available in /usr/share/doc/john or other location, depending on
your system.

unique - removes duplicates from a wordlist
SYNOPSIS
unique output-file
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the unique command, which is part of the john package. This manual page was written for the Debian
GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. john, better known as John the Ripper, is a tool to find
weak passwords of users in a server.
The unique tool finds and removes duplicate entries from a wordlist (read from stdin), without changing the order. This is important to
increase the performance of john when using the wordlist method.
SEE ALSO john(8), mailer(8), unafs(8), unshadow(8).
The programs are documented fully by John's documentation, which should be available in /usr/share/doc/john or other location, depending on
your system.
