cmp_* might be vectorized too.

I wrote them manually. But I plan to add proper reverse into
john-devkit (at the moment it can reverse only constants and unary ops
but does not consider other words of hash as "known", it should be
trivial to implement). I am not sure about readable formulas though.
g defines what word is used in what round. The indexes:
$ perl -le 'print +(7 * $_) % 16 for reverse 48 .. 63'
9
2
11
4
13
6
15
8
1
10
3
12
5
14
7
0
So it might be affordable to consider index 9 as 0, that's max len =
31. But then, index 2 is used. It would be 0 if max len = 7. It would
a constant if len = 8. A constant would ok too.
It is possible to assume word with index 2 as any and reverse with all
variants producing 2^32 "correct" values for each hash. It is possible
to do that "on demand": when password is set with new word, reverse
all hashes with this word. But it does not seem right, because other
projects reverse more rounds and does not seem to do it at such
expenses. So it may be needed to investigate formulas further or to
investigate some implementations with "deep" reverse (for instance,
Open Source BarsWF that you mentioned).
Thanks!
