I am able to reproduce the problem with john-1.7.2-ntlm-alainesp-4, but
not with john-1.7.2-ntlm-alainesp-5 (no SSE2).  With -5, I get exactly
the same hashes cracked as with the old john-ntlm-v03.diff; with -4,
some hashes are not getting cracked.  I was testing on fewer hashes than
Antares had, though.  (I do not have his files.)

I suggest that you try to reproduce the problem with -4, to make sure
that you've really fixed the bug in -5 (inadvertently?) rather than
merely made it not manifest itself on these particular files for some
subtle reason.

This suggests that you should be testing these patches on larger sets
of hashes.  Please use Antares' files from now on.  You may also
generate many NTLM hashes of both weak and strong passwords using this
Perl module -
