Yes, npdf2john currently sucks. I am sure that ndpf2john can be done
under 300 lines of code (if one is able to figure out the logic of the
current Perl code).
Code for cracking OpenOffice documents (which use Blowfish encryption)
using GPU is already present.
However, new OpenCL code needs to be written for cracking OpenOffice
documents which use AES encryption. The current PBKDF2 OpenCL code
doesn't handle input hashed passwords of length 32 bytes (generated by
SHA256).
