[1] I was under the impression that the "off the shelf" version of JtR
could do it. I did reach out to the guys mentioned in the article
(Stricture) but haven't heard back yet. This is sort of the digital
version of your house burning down! Hope someone can help out.

Ok, downloaded jumbo and Xcode. I saw this in
the INSTALL file:

UPDATE: It seems OS X 10.9 Mavericks (and on,
hopefully) can build the
-native target without any external tools or
tricks. However, the above
instructions (using a real gcc as opposed to
Apple's llvm-based one) may
still result in a slightly better performing
build. 

I assume I still need to compile it? I'm a bit rusty in that
department... what do I need to do to compile it? Just "make clean
macosx-x86-64-native"?

then start cracking (that's another thing I will need help with).


Thanks magnum!
