Subject: RE: md5_gen(0) broken for ages?
The reason why the user:hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.. format which is 'raw-md5' does
not work in md5_gen(0), is that for md5_gen(0) to validate a line, it
HAS to be in the format user:md5_gen(0)hhhhhhhhhhh.....
Now, the raw-md5go.fnt.c (the 'thin' version), converts the hash part
Of the line from hhhhhhhh..... to md5_gen(0)hhhhhhhhhh... Then it sends
It to md5-gen's validate() function. Thus, the raw-md5go_fmt.c is
'thin'. It does not perform work, but links into the md5_gen function, and
Transforms the hashes so that the appear to be in proper md5-gen format.
It is no different than taking a line like
User:abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789
And calling john with john -format=md5a inputfile.in
and expecting the above line in the input file to be 'used'.
It will not be used, because md5a has a specific format, and
That hash does not match it. If a hash does not start with the
$1$ when md5a will never choose that line. Same for md5_gen(0)
If the hash does not start with md5_gen(0), then it will be
used and there is no way to 'force' john to use it.
I am hopeful the other bug fix I posted gets you up and running
properly in md5-gen format. If so, I will get a new patch put to
the wiki..
Jim.

Fair enough, but I don't see why. I supply hashes to md5-gen and tell it
what they are, why would that not work? Then again, it was only a
problem when I tried to nail that other issue.
