I'm just getting my feet wet here and have a couple of questions... Are Sha-1 hashes case-sensitive?  I've been running JTR for a couple days now, and just realized I used lower-case letters where the Hash was actually in all-caps. Does JTR handle salted sha-1 hashes well? It's been two days, and JTR seems to be on passwords up to 8 char...  Does this mean adding just one other character will cause the crack time to increase to months? Thanks!
