This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. \fBjohn\fP, better known as John the Ripper, is a tool to find weak passwords of users in a server. .br The \fBunique\fP tool finds and removes duplicate entries from a wordlist (read from stdin), without changing the order. This is important to increase the performance of john when using the wordlist method. .SH SEE ALSO .BR john (8), .BR mailer (8), .BR unafs (8), .BR unshadow (8). .PP The programs are documented fully by John's documentation, which should be available in \fI/usr/share/doc/john\fP or other location, depending on your system. .SH AUTHOR This manual page was written by Jordi Mallach , for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others). .br John the Ripper and mailer were written by Solar Designer .
