All,

I will be presenting at numerous conferences this year on this exact topic.
i.e. creating john the ripper rules based on real password analysis of complex
passwords. I have essentially created multiple large rules that match patterns
that are chosen by users in corporate environments. These users are required
to meet certain password complexity rules - but still choose poor passwords
based upon recognizable patterns.

I will be sharing all my data/rules/wordlists once all the conferences are done.
This will be around August 2nd (End of Defcon in Vegas).

Even my rules, which are based on about 2.9 million cracked passwords
are not 'clean/precise' enough to be included in the default john the ripper
ruleset. But they will be easily usable using --rules:insert_rule_here
functionality.

Also: Does anyone hang out in IRC all day?
There is a #john channel on freenode:
-ChanServ- [#john] This channel devoted to discussion of JTR aka John the Ripper

Im just sitting there if anyone wants to talk password crackin'
