oh, my mistake.

it is actually JOHN the ripper.

another utility of note is the old and depricated tool called SATAN (not
SAINT, and other variants) for analyzing open and exploitable ports on a
host system.

i believe both (JOHN the ripper and SATAN) are very useful tools for
system administrators for determining weak points in their system.
having said this, i also believe that if these tools are put in the
wrong hands (like a knife given to a pshyco killer) -- intents seem to
be less academic than what it is actually used for. ;)

enjoy!
