Subject: reset()
myrice, magnum, Jim, all -
Here's how I am introducing reset() - a format method that may transfer
salts/hashes to GPU.
/* Called whenever the set of password hashes being cracked changes, such as
* after self-test, but before actual cracking starts. When called before a
* self-test or benchmark rather than before actual cracking, db may be NULL.
* Normally, this is a no-op since a format implementation shouldn't mess with
* the database unnecessarily. However, when there is a good reason to do so
* this may e.g. transfer the salts and hashes onto a GPU card. */
void (*reset)(struct db_main *db);
john-1.7.9.6+done-reset-1.diff is relative to the patch introducing
done(), which I posted previously.
john-1.7.9.6-reset-1.diff is relative to 1.7.9.6 as found in CVS.
Unfortunately, the existing self-test won't be able to test such formats
for real (including their on-GPU storage of salts/hashes). We may
revise the approach to self-testing later.
