Crack only one account:

$ john --users=toto unshadow.txt
$ john --users=1055 unshadow.txt

Print cracked passwords:

$ john --show unshadow.txt

# Custom mutations rules

Generate a dict based on a rule and then use it to crack

$ john --wordlist=/usr/share/wordlists/password/rockyou.txt --stdout --rules:norajCommon02 > dict.txt
$ john hash.txt --format=raw-md5 --wordlist=./dict.txt
