Your patched doc/RULES text mentions $\x10 as a rule to append a newline
character.
I also noticed that appending a newline character cracked several
raw-md5 hashes from
https://www.korelogic.com/InfoSecSouthwest2012_Ripe_Hashes.html
BTW: This is another indication that these hashes contain many fakes
where people probaby used
$ echo "password"|md5sum -
instead of
$echo -n "password"|md5sum -
I used an external mode to append a newline character .
Cracking these hashes with such an external mode or with a rule $\x10
and your patched rpp.c works.
However, john.pot will also contain these newline characters.
This results in john --show reporting wrong cracked passwords, unique
removing "duplicate" empty lines, and so on.
I'm not sure how much effort should be spent supporting such faked hashes.
Can/should we try to add new options/values to john --show and/or unique?
Or is this just not worth the effort, because these passwords will never
be needed to crack real password hashes?
