Subject: Re: zero-salted sha1 (mac os x 10.4 hash) cracking
Hi,
I was hoping someone else would respond. ;-)

It should be correctly autodetected by any version of John that supports
those hashes - such as jumbo or JtR Pro. You don't need to do anything
special for this to happen.

Indeed. Mac OS X hashes use a binary salt of a fixed size. The correct
JtR "format" for hashes used by 10.4 through 10.6 is called XSHA, but
you don't need to specify it explicitly (although you may). The $SHA1p$
hash encoding prefix is recognized by the sha1-gen format, which is
similar, except that it uses variable-length ASCII salts.

That's right.

No, it extracted the salt from your 48-char string already.

You've already specified the salt in that 48-char string. You don't
need to do anything else about that.
I hope this helps.
