Subject: RE: Custom Windows build 1.8.0.9 - What happened to zip2john?

Hey, I'm Robert and the one who contributes almost all of the builds on the
custom build site.

I think there was something definitely wrong with the bleeding version in
March 2017, and possibly now, when building with cygwin.     

See below for more details.

I tested all of the symbolic link files in the Windows build from March 2017
that I did and I can confirm there seems to be a problem with them. 

These all fail to run:

base64conv					
gpg2john		
hccap2john		
keepass2john	
putty2john		
racf2john		
rar2john		
unafs			
undrop			
unique			
unshadow

I then checked the previous version I made
"John-the-Ripper-v1.8.0-jumbo-1-Win-64".    
In this version there are no files that are symbolic links.  These all run
fine.

base64conv.exe
calc_stat.exe
cprepair.exe
dmg2john.exe
genmkvpwd.exe
gpg2john.exe
hccap2john.exe
john.exe
keepass2john.exe
keychain2john.exe
keyring2john.exe
keystore2john.exe
kwallet2john.exe
luks2john.exe
mkvcalcproba.exe
pfx2john.exe
putty2john.exe
pwsafe2john.exe
racf2john.exe
rar2john.exe
raw2dyna.exe
ssh2john.exe
tgtsnarf.exe
truecrypt_volume2john.exe
uaf2john.exe
unafs.exe
undrop.exe
unique.exe
unshadow.exe
wpapcap2john.exe
zip2john.exe

This build wasn't meant to require anything extra either.  According to what
you said, it's just a bug.

Yes.  You could run "john" directly if you copy or rename it so that it'd be
called "zip2john".
