That's not what the rules are for.  The rules accept a wordlist (or
per-user info such as usernames) and "mangle" it.

What you ask for is currently best achieved by modifying the KnownForce
external mode sample in the default john.conf.  I've attached the
modified sample to this message.  I've also attached it in the form of a
patch against the original john.conf (from JtR 1.7.5) just to illustrate
what was changed.

You may invoke this external mode with:

john --external=KnownForce --stdout

Indeed, you'd specify password hash files instead of "--stdout", or
you'd specify an output file (in case you want to use the resulting
list with a program other than JtR, and that program somehow cannot
read from a pipe).  The list will occupy over 24 disk-GB or almost
23 GiB assuming Unix linefeeds.  You probably do not want to actually
save it to disk.

You need to start by defining and explaining this fully.  The description
above is not clear enough.
