Ophcrack sounds familiar, but I can't recall if it works on Unix. I thought it was more for Windows systems.

I remember practicing with Brutus, but I don't think it supports Unix. It might be more Windows-focused.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm not sure if Brutus or Cain and Abel also work on Unix/Linux. I'll have to think this through carefully.

Okay, I know Ophcrack is a Windows-based tool, so that's definitely not the right answer. I'm leaning towards John the Ripper, but I'll double-check the other options just to be sure.

Okay, let me see. Based on what I know about John Muir, I think the answer is likely C - he headed inland for the Sierra Nevadas.

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

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