> Maybe you have some good advice on how to fuzz john. Thank you.

To improve efficency I'd try disabling self_test in code.
Also we could split fuzzing into two phases: all before crypt_all
(split prepare...), and everything with self test disabled this would
also increase efficency and again requires some changes in source code
- i.e just return 0 instead of doing crypt_all.

Some bugs might occur only when there are many hashes to crack - it's
something to have in mind.
Another approach is to look at the test cases and for each format
write a script that generates less or more similar inputs (like making
salts or hashes longer, or add invalid characters to the hash - such
hash should be rejected by valid function if not then you have a bug
that will never be caught by looking for crashes).
