john -single simply runes the rules from the [List.Rules:Single] section,
and when running in 'single' mode, there are some additional things added to
the rules. What -single[=Section] allows, is it allows you to build
multiple 'single' rules blocks into john.ini, and then from the command line
specify one other than the 'default'. So if you have [List.Rules:Single]
the default one, and add a new [List.Rules:Single_custom] section, then
simply using john -single=Single_custom will run john, using the new
section you built, without having to edit john.ini all the time.
This has also been done to the -rules switch (-rules=section) Now, if you
are running NTLM on some LM cracked words, simply use -rules=nt and do not
have to edit. Or you can build many differnt rule sets for differnt
purposes, and simply use the =Section with the -rules switch, and pick and
chose which to use.
Jim.
