Subject: OpenVMS support?

Sorry - it looks like I wasn't using the list correctly -- I haven't used one of these in a number of years!   Anyway, please see below:

I've made a bit of progress on this.  I've installed the Bleeding Jumbo version which lists OpenVMS as a supported hash.  However, when running against my hash file (which, BTW, works fine on 1.7.8 with the OpenVMS patch applied) I get the "No password hashes loaded" error.

Can anyone provide assistance?  Is the OpenVMS hash truly working in Bleeding Jumbo?

Thanks,
Mark

Hi All,

We're in the process of migrating from and OpenVMS system to AIX and we have a need to not change passwords.  Therefore I've been using JtR to retrieve the passwords.  

I've compiled version 1.7.8 and have applied the OpenVMS patch located here: http://download.openwall.net/pub/projects/john/contrib/vms/2011-jonesd/.  I've also purchased and am using the openwall wordlist.  

A couple of questions:

1 - Does anyone have some tips on which rules or command lines to use with an OpenVMS user database?
2 - Is 1.7.8 the newest version supported by the OpenVMS patch?  I have a 16 core box and would really love to use --fork which is not an option.
3 - Without --fork, aside from splitting the database file into multiple chunks, is there a way to run multiple instances?

Any other tips for someone trying to recover OpenVMS passwords?  Thanks for the help.

Mark
