You will want to download and compile the latest version of John, the
Jumbo version on Github
https://github.com/magnumripper/JohnTheRipper/
If you know hot to use git too: git clone
https://github.com/magnumripper/JohnTheRipper/
cd into the src directory and use ./configure && make clean && make
There are also some premade and user contributed versions you may want
to try that are more modern than 1.8.0, but none as updated as the GIT
repo.
