While I certainly am not to dispute what you're saying here, my goal
is merely to create an appropriate 'mixed case' chr file as you suggested
that I do by use of a fabricated john.pot file. With my case being
one of attempting to crack passwords where a combination of upper
and lower are enforced on the system, my suggestion of documentation
was made simply due to the lack of options one has as a 'novice' of john
to create chr files outside outside of what's provided. So in my case
I'm not sure what the point of recommending that I 'not' create my own
john.pot. Again, I'm not approaching a blind password file where I don't
know the properties of password rules.
Certainly documentation to this effect would help to educating one along
the way to a better understanding of this program.
