Using a single pwdump output file, I made a shell script to automatically
make rules based on previously cracked passwords. Its not pretty
but it works.
This script for example - does a --show on a pwdump file, then finds
the 100 most popular FIRST three characters - then creates a john.conf
rule to prepend all the wordlists with those three characters. This
isn't the prettiest solution but it worked for me. I don't know that I would
do this for a whole john.pot file though because different places
use different patterns.
# more convert-3char-list-to-johnconf.sh
john -show -format:nt $1 | cut -d: -f 2 | perl -pe 's/^(...).*/\1/' |
sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | awk '{print $2}' |head -n 100 > a.txt
echo "[List.Rules:KoreLogicRulesPrependList]"
cat a.txt | sed -e 's/^./i[0][&]/' | sed -e 's/..$/i[1][&]/' | sed -e
's/.\]$/\]i\[2\]\[&/'
-----------------
Here is a shell script that finds all 9 character passwords from a
pwdump output file - then makes a list of the 100 most popular
3-character ending strings.
# more convert-3char-list-to-johnconf-most-popular-ending-strings.sh
john -show --format:nt $1| cut -d: -f 2 | egrep ^.........$ | cut -b
7-10 | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr| awk '{print $2}' |head -n 300| tail
-n 100 > a.txt
echo ""
echo "[List.Rules:KoreLogicRulesAppend3List]"
cat a.txt | sed -e 's/^./$[&]/' | sed -e 's/..$/$[&]/' | sed -e
's/.\]$/\]$\[&/' | sed -e 's/^/c/g'
I have a few others, but they are all variations on the same idea. Obviously
those shell scripts could be written better - feel free to improve.

At least using my john.pot (over 2 million entries) I noticed the
following popular patterns:
instances|pattern
72460 Word00
30531 word0
24581 UUUUUU0
19697 Ulll0000
19589 word00
11229 Word0000
I think the lesson here is:
1) Your dictionaries should be all lower case (Let john
capitalize the characters)
2) Dont worry about all the UUUU's - That just LANMAN
I dont know if I have posted this rule or not but it should get most of those
patterns above. I believe john.conf's default rules will as well.

Other things I noticed in my output:

Thats a simple:
c$[$!@...&*?.+\-_=`~()|]$[0123456789]$[0123456789]
I have a rule like this as well - but for 4 numbers after the special char:
[List.Rules:KoreLogicRulesSpecial4num]
c$[$!@...&*?.+\-_=`~()|]$[0123456789]$[0123456789]$[0123456789]$[0123456789]

I don't know of a way to automatically write rules based on your output.
(Besides a massive sed/awk script)
I still doing the analysis / rule writing my hand. But I like your approach!
