"cracking" SHA1 hashes of random garbage bytes are hardly a use case
john should support, IMHO.
Is there any system which really accepts random bytes including line
feeds and null bytes in passwords?
How do you enter such passwords as a user? And even if you can, should
you ever do this?
How would you know (as a user who didn't audit the system in use) that
the system will not silently convert your
"pass\0word" into pass?
