Subject: Re: John with Radeon graphical card supports?

Hi,

Sorry for delay in reply.

You guys really do a great job, congratulations. I see this as very
promising area, at the moment the graphical cards are still a bit
expensive to me. Maybe during next months they get cheaper and also
the support get all algorithms that we have today for normal john, for
sure this will be a great point on the history of John The Ripper.

If you allow me I want to do 2 suggestions for you consider on this development:

- If doesn't exist, add support for multiple cards on the same
computer, for example, someone with 2 graphical cards could have an
enormous benefits instead of just one.

- Consider add support for WPA/WPA2 handshake. While there is other
tools for this task they are not fast and powerful (such as rules
option) as John.

Thanks
