John the Ripper, the password cracking version of 'John the Baptist'? I'll take it!

Cain and Abel? Sounds like a biblical reference, not a password cracking tool. John the Ripper is the one to beat!

Cain and Abel may sound biblical, but it's actually a password cracking tool as well.

Brutus? That's more for web form password cracking, not really what we need here. John the Ripper is the clear winner.

Ophcrack? Really? That's more for Windows passwords. I'd stick with the classic John the Ripper for this one.
