An effective method to get passwords is to pass them trough specific
generated rainbow tables with a tool like CAIN.
Is this hash encrypted with md5 or another known hashing algorithm ?

Cheers

I am doing an assesment for passwords on a network, after getting the 
password file I piped the output to a text file, tried to run that 
against John and can't get any luck with the program. Do anyone here 
uses any other password programs, and is there a better format than a 
text file to store the out of the etc/shadow when trying to get the 
passes.
