Solar,

Is there any chance a very loaded GECOS field can "overwrite" the login field or otherwise screw Single mode from getting a candidate from that field? We have reasons to believe that is the case. I'm planning to try to parse the code but I thought I'd give you a heads up in case you immediately know the answer. I tried to spot any limitation on GECOS stuff other than LINE_BUFFER_SIZE but did not find any.

Problem is this:
1. We've had office2john make userid:hash until now, which is really filename:hash. The hash in question was cracked by single mode, using the filename (username).
2a. We added lots of meta data from office files into GECOS field for use by Single mode. Userid field (filename) is still just like it was.
2b. Hash no longer gets cracked.

Specifically, this gets cracked by Single (password is qwerty1234):

2k_Office97-2000_qwerty1234_RC4.doc:$oldoffice$1*c9425e494d607e71dfed478802457f96*cd8c925ea49777be7b7ade744805b321*f4fd7bdc4b18be5c0701a5d195c8a12a

This one does not get cracked:

2k_Office97-2000_qwerty1234_RC4.doc:$oldoffice$1*c9425e494d607e71dfed478802457f96*cd8c925ea49777be7b7ade744805b321*f4fd7bdc4b18be5c0701a5d195c8a12a:::1252 104 25 testing123 15376 592544 1252 Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit testing123 Normal.dot testing123 1 120 12987491460 12987491580 1 2196 12521 Microsoft Word 9.0 1::/Volumes/jtr16/Office/2k_Office97-2000_qwerty1234_RC4.doc
