Subject: Re: loading OS X hashes from Davegrohl

well, the file was formatted with user:hash from the davegrohl output (using both -passwd and -shadow options).

Also, I checked the directory in question after getting the inconsistent output from that perl script. It appears that the folder referenced under /private/var/db didn't exist.  so, I am at a loss as to why davegrohl could get a full hash dump.

also, the SSE2 version of john in the site you provided failed with an illegal instruction 4. so, I will try the V3 version. If that fails, then I will go into the historical folder and find a version consistent with my current OS.

Also, as reported in another email, I was able to dump hashes and salts using the dscl command. I don't know if that will work or not. However, I am willing to give it a try.
