Message-ID: <018401cc9f02$45831030$d0893090$@net> Date: Wed, 9 Nov 2011 11:08:58 -0600 From: "jfoug" <jfoug@....net> To: <john-dev@...ts.openwall.com> Subject: RE: post 1.7.8-jumbo-7 changes summary Not sure that this needs to be notified about, but I will explain what it is. 'unified' output was meant to say that no matter how a md5($p) is run through john, that it will now be placed into the pot file in one way. John can handle these as 'input' (also when reading the .pot file) for md5($p) formats. md5_gen(0)hex_hash hex_hash $dynamic_0$hex_hash So, any input file read, which johh is in -form=dynamic_0, or into -form-raw-md5 can read any of the above lines, and work with them, on an input file, or from the .pot file. When john writes a .pot line, it will write in the format: $dynamic_0$hex_hash:password This format uniquely, and properly identifies the hash. hex_hash:password, does not. Now, this does mean that any raw-md4 (or several others), which drop hex_hash:password into the .pot file will be used at pot load to trim an input file. However, I am not sure of any known collisions between md5($p) and md4($p), and would imagine that these would be specially crafted to collide. >From: Solar Designer [mailto:solar@...nwall.com] > >Jim, magnum - > >On Mon, Nov 07, 2011 at 10:27:05AM -0600, jfoug wrote: >> Unification of output format, and ability to read any form valid input > >I don't understand what this means and I don't know how to describe it >such that users of JtR will understand.
