Subject: Shouldn't the TS work with a pw.dic in reversed order as well?

I just wanted to find out which hmac-sha1 passwords get cracked if I try
the candidate passwords in reversed order.


mv pw.dic pw.dic.orig
tac pw.dic.orig > pw.dic


But I already stumbled over

 form=dynamic_2                    guesses: 1482 time: 0:00:00:00 :
Expected count(s) (1500)  [!!!FAILED!!!]
Exiting on error.  The pot file ./tst.pot contains the found data
The command used to run this test was:

../run/john -ses=./tst -nolog -pot=./tst.pot dynamic_2_tst.in
--wordlist=pw.dic 2>&1 >/dev/null


Other formats that fail:

form=dynamic_2-raw                guesses: 1482 time: 0:00:00:00 :
Expected count(s) (1500)  [!!!FAILED!!!]
.pot CHK:dynamic_2-raw            guesses: 1482 time: 0:00:00:00  [PASSED]

form=dynamic_3                    guesses: 1482 time: 0:00:00:00 :
Expected count(s) (1500)  [!!!FAILED!!!]
.pot CHK:dynamic_3                guesses: 1482 time: 0:00:00:00  [PASSED]

form=dynamic_3-raw                guesses: 1482 time: 0:00:00:00 :
Expected count(s) (1500)  [!!!FAILED!!!]
.pot CHK:dynamic_3-raw            guesses: 1482 time: 0:00:00:00  [PASSED]

form=dynamic_34                   guesses: 1482 time: 0:00:00:00 :
Expected count(s) (1500)  [!!!FAILED!!!]
.pot CHK:dynamic_34               guesses: 1482 time: 0:00:00:00  [PASSED]


form=hmac-sha1                    guesses:  730 time: 0:00:00:09 :
Expected count(s) (1500)  [!!!FAILED!!!]
.pot CHK:hmac-sha1                guesses:  730 time: 0:00:00:01  [PASSED]

So,. for hmac-sha1 at least the password count is the same if we reverse
the order of candidates tried.

The test is still running, and I probably need to repeat this with other
dictionaries as well.
