[@footlongpizza8634]

I've been scratching my head on how to do this with hashcat for an hour. Didn't realize it was this easy with John the Ripper
Thanks so much for this video

If you have write access to /etc/shadow then yes

[@adamquaydar1636]

how did you get the permission for /etc/shadow so you cp is

[@c0nd4]

By default, only root can read the shadow file. If you are able to read it as a low privilege user, then there is a misconfiguration.

[@glowiever]

I can't even cat the shadow file :(
