Subject: Loopback and encoding enhancements
Invasive changes to bleeding-jumbo has been committed. Some new features:
- The loopback mode can now assemble LM password halves. It's a
nefarious hack, but it works like a champ.
- You can now specify a "hashed encoding" so you can use UTF-8 wordlists
for cracking eg. LM hashes.
- You can even specify an "intermediate encoding" for the rules engine
to use when both wordlists and output hashes are UTF-8. This has some
performance penalty but might come very handy. If you use it when
attacking a Unicode format (eg. NT) it will automatically pick the
faster way of doing it (no extra conversion).
- You can set defaults for most everything in john.conf so you'll end up
normally not needing to specify any encodings.
Details in doc/ENCODING. Examples (using recommended settings in
john.conf - *not* the backward-compatible defaults as shipped):
$ file test

John picked defaults of UTF-8 for input files and CP850 for LM hashes.
This also meant that the rules engine and/or the format's internal
upper-casing of candidates worked for the non-ASCII character. On top of
that the output was correct for my UTF-8 terminal, despite the actual
encoding being CP850. The results were also encoded in UTF-8 in the pot
file, which is arguable - but it's a prerequisite for the next example:
$ ../run/john test -format:nt --loopback
Rules engine using CP850 for Unicode

In the second example, John picked defaults of UTF-8 for input files and
CP850 for "intermediate" encoding (although without any extra speed
penalty because NT can take any encoding without a second conversion).
The loopback mode assembled the LM halves and the default loopback rule
case-toggled the candidates to success.
