Right now, this page mostly links to external websites, which is OK, but I would actually prefer that tutorials be written right on this wiki, with new pages created under this “tutorials” DokuWiki namespace. Some overlap with the official documentation (such as with doc/EXAMPLES) and between multiple tutorials is no problem. And I do mean step-by-step - e.g., start with downloading JtR, compiling it (if applicable), downloading pwdump6 and running it on a Windows system with output to a file, scp'ing the file, and so on… More specific and with greater detail than that found in the official documentation for JtR. I envision these tutorials as step-by-step guides or examples for specific use cases - e.g., auditing passwords on a Windows system (that's one tutorial), then auditing passwords from various Unix-like systems and Windows on a Linux system (that's another tutorial). I think that this wiki page/section should contain primarily simple stuff aimed at typical end-users.
