You need format labels and maybe "is_disabled" field. See below.

I hope Shinnok will comment on visual appearance.

The input for --show=types is the same as for johnny. So if you opened
somefile.pw then you call `john --show=types somefile.pw`.

$dynamic_0$ is tag of format (hash type). It is a part of hash. It is
the canonical form of the hash for this format: it will be written to
.pot (and it can be used to get the password back without temporary
file, but that's other story). Most probably you don't need to show
the hash to user (it may be an option then for advanced users).

Rather no, not important now.

It is an array to point to a specific part of line. It is not a part
of output of --show=types.

The last patch contains mistake: formats are not separated by :: just
:, it makes it harder to parse. Please wait a bit.

The format changed a bit, but now there are 3 fields too:

A part of line from new output:
NT-old:0:0:1:$NT$b4c37357cccccccccccccccccccccccc

"NT-old" is format label that can be used as argument for --format=
option.

Then there are 3 fields 1/0: is_disabled, is_dynamic, matches_exactly.

is_disabled means that the format was disabled through john.conf. But
it may be forced by --format= option. Most probably such formats
should be skipped now. Maybe later it would be good to make "format
investigation mode" in Johnny.

is_dynamic means that the format is dynamic (they are called dynamic_*
and some of them are defined in john.conf). There are a lot of dynamic
formats and by default they don't load bare hashes (i.e. without a
tag). You may ignore it now. It may be useful when user wants to see
more possibilities, though even so user can enable bare hashes for
dynamics and enjoy long lists of formats.

matches_exactly means that the format uses the hash in the second
field. It is not always this way: pwdump file format is an example,
original LM is shown in the second field, while NT hash is not shown.
You may ignore this and the second field too: just match format list
with the original line by number.

I changed that. There should be a hash always.

Thanks!
