Thanks for the link. Why not join john-users next time ?
I disagree with this :
Provide bonus points to teams that use software they wrote themselves or
hardware they built themselves from scratch. Anyone can download and
execute other people's software and/or buy lots of high-priced video
cards. Neither of those require much thought or creativity and neither
of those are a cool hack suitable for Defcon.
I believe sunmd5 was exactly this bonus: if you can't write your own
tools you will not crack any of them. I don't know why team Hashcat
didn't try to crack them however, they certainly can build tools ...
They probably (rightly) felt they would win by focusing on the already
implemented hashes.
