unshadow
unshadow - combines passwd and shadow files
Brute forcing /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow
First, save /etc/passwd and john /etc/shadow from the victim machine to the attacker machine.
Second, use unshadow to put users and passwords in the same file:
unshadow passwd shadow > crackme
# passwd: file saved with /etc/passwd content.
# shadow: file saved with /etc/shadow content.
Third, run johtheripper or hashcat to crack the hash.
