Description

This module uses John the Ripper to identify weak passwords that have been
acquired as hashed files (loot) or raw LANMAN/NTLM hashes (hashdump). The goal
of this module is to find trivial passwords in a short amount of time. To
crack complex passwords or use large wordlists, John the Ripper should be
used outside of Metasploit. This initial version just handles LM/NTLM credentials
from hashdump and uses the standard wordlist and rules.
