Subject: interview on John the Ripper 1.7; jumbo patch
Hi,
I've got two things to announce:
1. SecurityFocus has just published an interview with me about John the
Ripper 1.7. "Federico Biancuzzi interviews Solar Designer, creator of
the popular John the Ripper password cracker. Solar Designer discusses
what's new in version 1.7, the advantages of popular cryptographic
hashes, the relative speed at which many passwords can now be cracked,
and how one can choose strong passphrases (forget passwords) that are
harder to break."
The interview can be found here:

2. The contributed resources list on John the Ripper homepage has been
updated to include a jumbo patch for version 1.7 and a package of 1.7
with the jumbo patch applied pre-compiled for Win32. The jumbo patch
enables processing of many password hash types and ciphers that are not
supported by the official JtR. You can get this right here:

Here's the "john --test" output for 1.7 with the jumbo patch on a P4
2.8 GHz running Owl 2.0:

Yes, some cipher names are weird and the performance is not optimal -
but this should give you an idea of what the unofficial patches can do
for you.
