UNAFS(8)

💖 UNAFS(8) — System Manager's Manual 💖

okay bestie, so this is unafs, from section 8 of the manual (that's the sysadmin zone, main character energy only). let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

unafs — a script to warn users about their weak passwords 🔥

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

unafs password-files cell-name

like, that's the whole vibe. two things, in that order. periodt 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so, real talk: this manual page documents the unafs command briefly, and it's part of the john package. it was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution specifically because the original program straight up does not have a manual page 😭 (yes, we're the ones doing the extra credit here).

and who is john? john, better known as John the Ripper 👑, is a tool to find weak passwords of users in a server. it's giving security audit, it's giving "bestie your password is literally password123" 💀.

so what does unafs itself actually do? it gets password hashes out of the binary AFS database, and produces a file usable by John. that's it. that's the whole job. it's a little bridge between AFS land and John land 🦋.

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

• john(8)
• mailer(8)
• unique(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 🌸.
