Subject: JtR snap package notes
Hi there.
Many people are using John the Ripper snap package (
https://snapcraft.io/john-the-ripper).
- most users are using the released 1.9 Jumbo 1;
- some users are testing the developing version (The "bleeding-jumbo"
branch from git) through the edge snap channel;
- a few users (probably) are running very old and long cracking sessions
using the snap package.
Unfortunately, automatic updates that happen "behind the scenes" can't end
if you're in a long cracking session.
Based on Canonical statistics, I would say some users are still running a
JtR 1.8 version. This is not bad in itself. However, these users should
backup their `.pot` and` .log` files because, despite the fact that these
files will be copied to any new version of JtR, I am not sure if everything
will happen in the correct sequence (the last crack + pot sync versus the
snap package update).
Safety never hurts.
That said, if you are running a version earlier than 1.9-Jumbo 1, consider
stopping JtR, running a `snap refresh` and restoring your session.
Thanks for your reading.
Example of where you find `.pot` and `.log` files from the snap package.
