Does anyone else have a crack sub directory in /etc (ie /etc/crack)? I'm worried my computer's been hacked.
As wjandrea has posited this sub-directory is from the package crack-common. The file list that can be seen in /etc/crack from this application's package is as follows:
/etc/Crack/dictgrps.conf
/etc/Crack/dictrun.conf
/etc/Crack/globrule.conf
/etc/Crack/network.conf
/etc/Crack/rules.basic
/etc/Crack/rules.fast
/etc/Crack/rules.perm1
/etc/Crack/rules.perm1u
/etc/Crack/rules.perm2
/etc/Crack/rules.perm2u
/etc/Crack/rules.perm3
/etc/Crack/rules.perm3u
/etc/Crack/rules.perm4
/etc/Crack/rules.perm4u
/etc/Crack/rules.perm5
/etc/Crack/rules.perm5u
/etc/Crack/rules.perm6
/etc/Crack/rules.perm6u
/etc/Crack/rules.perm7
/etc/Crack/rules.perm7u
/etc/Crack/rules.prefix
/etc/Crack/rules.prefixu
/etc/Crack/rules.suffix
/etc/Crack/rules.suffixu
/etc/Crack/rules.weird
A full listing of all of the files can be seen here... The application crack which uses this package is a password guessing program which has been installed on your system.

dpkg -S /etc/crack? – FedonKadifeli May 21 '19 at 19:59dpkg -S /etc/crackwill show you which Ubuntu package (if any) installed/etc/crack. If no package claims/etc/crack, then you MAY have been hacked. – waltinator May 21 '19 at 22:12crack-common. – wjandrea May 21 '19 at 22:20man crackin terminal to read about it. Don't try googling you get a lot of non-software results.a – WinEunuuchs2Unix May 22 '19 at 1:50
