I think there is also some broken magic used. Without reverse
engineering he algorithm, more samples might help,
In addition to the ones in
http://www.openwall.com/lists/john-users/2013/02/15/2
we might need some more.
First, a
./AIXtest ... | wc -l
Then, the may be the top 100 hashes of those broken formats, but not
just the ones which have a '...' sequence in the hash.
To get more certainty, a larger set of samples could help.
E.g., it looks like the frequency of hashes with '...' sequences for
{ssha512}06$ is about 4 times as high as for {ssha512}04$.
It might be a coincidence, but {ssha512}06$ also has 4 times as many
iterations.
For {ssha256}04$ and {ssha256}06$, there is no such difference.
OTOH, for {ssha1}04 there seem to be only very few of these hashes,
close to the end, while {ssha256}06, the frequency is very high again.
Also, while for {smd5} the position of the '...' looks random, for the
other hashes there is a strong bias towards the end of the hash.
I am really curious how they managed to get such results.
And, of course, a larger sample size could help.
E.g., all hashes for passwords of length 1 or 2 for all printable
characters / character combinations.
Or, trying to detect patterns if the salt changes, but the password is
the same. And so on.
