Subject: Re: What type of passwords does john crack?
hmm it appears all these passwords are 31 characters. I guess that
basically means john wont do anything with it?
actually I grabbed the code from which these "MD5" passwords are created
from..
// MD5 Encryption
function md5_hmac($data, $key)
{
if (strlen($key) > 64)
$key = pack('H*', md5($key));
$key = str_pad($key, 64, chr(0x00));
$k_ipad = $key ^ str_repeat(chr(0x36), 64);
$k_opad = $key ^ str_repeat(chr(0x5c), 64);
return md5($k_opad . pack('H*', md5($k_ipad . $data)));
}
appertenly it says there MD5's?!?!...

actually it appears to be a common problem on google. I reinstalled
everything including the latest jumbo patch and this problem still exists..
not a biggie though for me anyways, just letting you know this problem
exists.
