They are checked against a password hash file (your wording confused me
at first) but that is what you meant.

Note: Maybe you just left it out above, but you'll likely need to run
"./john" or "some/path/john" so you don't end up running Kali's old john
binary.

Yes. Try to get the bash completion running (sudo make bash-completion)
and then try hitting TAB twice after "--rules=" to see some other rule
sets. If you use eg. "--rules=jumbo" you'll get a lot more permutations.
IRL you would try this before running wordlists:
./john --single hashfile
The "single mode" is relatively quick and will (in case of WPA) make
lots of permutations of the SSID, which just might pay off.

Some googling will give you lists of names, animals, cities, lakes,
brands, sports teams, slang and whatever you can think of. Also try to
get hold of the "Rockyou list" (google that, and have a good look at the
"SkullSecurity" result). If you like this game you might want to join us
in next hash cracking contest - stay tuned!
