Subject: Re: md5_gen, proposed functionality
John-Dev list, I have exchanged a couple of mails with Jim regarding
having unicode($p) as an function in md5_gen. I did it off-list as I
thought most john-users members would not benefit from the discussion
but now this new list exist, I copy it to you too.

The situation is EXACTLY like NT hashes: The input file is ASCII, but
the hashes *was created from* plaintexts encoded in UTF16.
Consider this:
$ echo -n password | md5sum
5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99 -
$ echo -n password | iconv -t utf-16le | md5sum
b081dbe85e1ec3ffc3d4e7d0227400cd -
You can crack the first hash with raw-md5 or md5(p) but you will *never
ever* crack the second hash without my fix. Actually that one is still
obviously raw-md5 but it is usually described as md5(unicode($p)) for
clarity. Just google "md5(unicode(pass))".
$ echo -n password | iconv -t utf-16le | hd
00000000 70 00 61 00 73 00 73 00 77 00 6f 00 72 00 64 00
|p.a.s.s.w.o.r.d.|
Obviously you can't use a wordlist file encoded in UTF-16 because John
will read the "p" from password and then see a NULL that ends the
string. We would not want to change that because it would be a total
rewrite of the whole lot. And it would likely slow down stuff when not
needed.

NT hashes are md4(unicode($p)), right? This is the same thing, but I
want md5(unicode($p)). Files, rules, modes are not changed. In my way of
doing it (as well as the present mscash, NT or NTLMv2 formats for
example) the candidates are never really converted per se, but in
set_key() they are what can be described as casted, so there is
effectively a null inserted between every char.

On a higher level and not caring about performance, I would like to be
able to create a md5_gen(1xxx) or a thin format that uses unicode($p)
instead of just ($p).
We have functions like MD5GenBaseFunc__append_salt so maybe we can have
a function like MD5GenBaseFunc__convert2unicode.
Then I could state md5(unicode($p)) like this:
[List.Generic:md5_gen(1100)]
# expression shown will be the string: md5_gen(1100) md5(unicode($p))
Expression=md5(unicode($p))
Func=MD5GenBaseFunc__InitialLoadKeysToInput
Func=MD5GenBaseFunc__convert2unicode
Func=MD5GenBaseFunc__crypt
Test=md5_gen(1100)16c47151c18ac087cd12b3a70746c790:test1
Test=md5_gen(1100)537e738b1ac5551f65106368dc301ece:thatsworking
Test=md5_gen(1100)849ee1b88b5d887bdb058180a666b450:test3
This one function would also let me do md5(unicode($p.$s)) if I appended
the salt before the conversion.

On a lower level, you'll know better than me. If we did not care about
performance, this could happen in a separate function plain2utf16()
called before set_key() and maybe this is still an option but that would
mean *key from that step on is a string (*wchar?) that can have nulls in
it, so you'd have to rewrite set_key/get_key anyway.

I have left out the UTF-8 discussion from this because it makes things
much more complicated and I think we should address that later. But this
"casting" conversion will ONLY work for ASCII and ISO-8859-1 wordlists.
This is a current problem with NT hashes too. And it's much lower
priority so let's leave that for now.
thanks,
magnum
