Hi Jeff,

I  try your Hash on...

I am on Mountain Lion 10.8.5 & John = ver: 1.7.9-jumbo-7_omp [macosx-x86-64]

But strange return from "John" !


****************************************
I run :

new-host:run1 xxx$ ./john -show hash

xxxxxxx= "long hash displayed"

:NO PASSWORD:::0

1 password hash cracked, 0 left

new-host:run1 xxx$

Regards,

Don'
