    My quest to crack this Wi-Fi password led me deep into the world of network security. I learned about tools like aircrack-ng and John the Ripper. I discovered the concept of packet capture and the vulnerabilities of WPS-protected networks. But more importantly, this journey led me to a revelation that would change everything: Android was built on the Linux kernel.

    With the root hash you can crack the root password using tools like John The Ripper[0]. More generally, I assume, this exploit can be used to read any arbitrary files on the system, bypassing regular access control, and plenty of other stuff you aren't supposed to be able to do as a non-privileged user.

    Since I used to work for the employer in question, I decide to crack my own password-protected pay statements. I downloaded and built John the Ripper jumbo and then all I had to do was run a few commands after looking at the documentation, and there was my SIN number almost instantly.
