I just finished the new jumbo modes task, it can be merged after you do
your usual review. This week, my plan was to work on my 2.2 github issues,
get it reviewed by you, well test johnny, update french translation, update
changelog, wiki, wrap-up release, build well-tested binaries for platforms
until the firm pencil down date(august 21th). After GSOC is over, on the
week of august 21st to 28th, I can't spend a lot of time on johnny since I
need to clean my new apartment, paint it and move my stuck there with a
truck I rent since school will start at the end of august. My university
(and my apartment) is 7 hours away from my summer home(parents) so this
complicates the situation. I also need to go buy a used fridge and an oven
for my apartment. So that's why I'd like to do as much as possible for the
release before the end of GSOC. I'm not sure if we're gonna have time to
put a WELL-TESTED, not rushed, *2john support in version 2.2. Especially
because *2john requires much thought on Windows because python/perl etc.
isn't installed by default, maybe it requires modifying the installer to
download the latest community supported .exe scripts from openwall wiki
automatically like Rich suggested. Also, the script have different
interfaces.
How do you want the UI for this ? I think that putting 30+ items in the
open menu(like the session menu) might look confusing. I thought about 2
options for the open menu : open pwd file and openother formats. Clicking
on other format open a new windows where you can select :
Input file : LineEdit/Browse button
Format : A lot of mutually exclusive checkboxes PDF, cisco etc..
Output file : (For resuming the session, we have to save the output from
stdout to a new file) LineEdit / Browse Button
Additional parameters: For example when selecting a format such as openssl,
some new options might appear. As you can see some scripts like
./openssl2john.py have options [-c cipher] [-m md] [-p plaintext]
