no password file created

[ZP-Gaming]

i ran the cmd and made sure everything was working properly and it finished and closed the cmd but didnt create any password file like it said it was supposed to. im not sure what is happening, any ideas?

[illsk1lls]

are you using redirected onedrive folders? (redirected desktop)

[ZP-Gaming]

dont think so but ill check, pretty sure i deleted one drive off my pc

[ZP-Gaming]

yeah one drive isnt even on my pc and the files for the cmd are on my d drive

[illsk1lls]

if you type CD %UserProfile%\Desktop into CMD prompt does it take you to your desktop folder?

[ZP-Gaming]

says system cannot find path specified

[illsk1lls]

what happens if you type chcp 1252 CD %UserProfile%\Desktop does it work then?

[ZP-Gaming]

it does not

[illsk1lls]

what is your system language?

also, close and reopen cmd prompt and just type chcp and post the output

[ZP-Gaming]

English, could it possibly be a antivirus issue because i had to unblock some of the processes to get it to run?

[illsk1lls]

No it is the language\codepage on your machine..

Your path should look like C:\Users\Zachary Pugh>

But instead it looks like C:ҰUsersҰZachary Pugh>

What country are you in?

[ZP-Gaming]

United States, cmd defaults \ to that symbol for me

[illsk1lls]

Your system is set incorrectly.

Your default codepage should be 437 or 1252, and there should be backslashes ( \ ) in your paths not yen and yuan signs ( Y with 2 slashes, the sign for Japanese money)

[ZP-Gaming]

never seen that happen before lol, i do have japanese language pack installed but i think it defaulted to that even before it was installed because i remember seeing that symbol in cmd before i even installed the pack

[illsk1lls]

Let me know how it goes 👍 or if I dont hear back I’ll assume you’re ok after a few days and close the issue

[ZP-Gaming]

just restarted pc from changing it back to english will run it again and will confirm if it works in a sec

[illsk1lls]

I may add a warning for this, i was considering having the script automatically do it, but if it requires a restart i wont be able to seamlessly/automatically change it back… maybe a warning with instructions is better

[ZP-Gaming]

yeah as i changed it, it said i had to restart my pc so prob not a bad idea to add warning because i was so confused with what was happening, but hasnt seemed to fix it for some reason and both chcp 437 and 1252 dont pull anything up for the cmd stuff earlier

type ECHO %USERPROFILE%

[ZP-Gaming]

[illsk1lls]

hang tight, your user profile variable is messed up, its missing the path, im finding a fix

[illsk1lls]

Open RegEdit on your computer and paste the following address into the top address bar HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList On the lefthand side, Ignore S-1-5-XX, starting at the longer keys ( S-1-5-XX-XXXXXXXX...) click them one at a time and on the right side you will see a key called "ProfileImagePath" with a value. Do this until you find the one with your name in it. It is also supposed to have the path. Can you see whats there?

[ZP-Gaming]

the value of the profile image path is C:\Users\Zachary Pugh

[illsk1lls]

when i echo %userprofile% on my end (and on other machines) i get the full path with my user folder, not my display name...

What you see in your profileimagepath key is what is supposed to be inside that variable.. let me check something else real quick

[illsk1lls]

Do you get different output for these two commands? echo %userprofile% or this echo %systemdrive%\users\%username%

[ZP-Gaming]

basically is just repeating what i typed minus the echo part

[illsk1lls]

This echo %systemdrive%\users\%username% doesnt display this? C:\Users\Zachary Pugh

[ZP-Gaming]

i did that wrong my bad it does display that

[illsk1lls]

ok I'm gonna update the script and test it on my end and if it works ill publish it, give me a few minutes to test the changes...

on normal systems they should both display the same thing... but youre not the first person to have issues saving the output file, so maybe this will help multiple issues including the onedrive redirection..

[ZP-Gaming]

ok lmk when its updated so i can see if it works on my end

[illsk1lls]

All set, download the latest version and give it a shot ;)

Make sure to refresh the page first..

[ZP-Gaming]

looks like its possibly working now because previously it wasnt even running john the ripper

[illsk1lls]

thanks for testing it

[illsk1lls]

I will close the issue, please reopen a new one if needed.

*I also added a new wordlist option, if this run doesnt yield results you can update and give it another shot 😉
