As far as I know there are two problems:
1. Some versions of basename() modify the original string, some do not. This is only a problem if we want to keep the original full name as well.
2. Some versions of basename() may return NULL on error. This problem might be more or less academic for this use.
The current gpg2john code handles both cases. A generic version in misc.c or maybe in path.c is a good idea. Supporting an arbitrary list of extensions to strip would be powerful of course.

The last three are probably OK too, but not perfect. I suppose a NULL return from basename() is as rare as one from malloc().

I think both are OK. Office2john does basename (in python), vncpcap2john seems to use an actual login id.

I think both should be fixed. kwallet2john seems to output bare hashes without a login field, and I think TC outputs a fixed string - a basename of filename would be better.

I think keepass2john should be fixed. It currently puts full pathname in login field.
