What about the other alternative:
Just always add the iteration count, even if it is the default of 10240?
This would also prevent wrong detection as hmac-md5.
Generally, I would prefer to have at least one representation per
supported format which is not considered valid by any other format, at
least not by any other format which is tested earlier.
Ideally, this format representation should not only be used for new
john.pot lines, there should also be an easy way to convert john.pot so
that all lines use the preferred format representation.
Even better would be a way to convert the input files as well, so that
the hashes to be cracked are converted into the preferred format
representation.
