Subject: "excessive partial hash collisions detected" for mskrb5
Solar,
After I managed to create a perl script that can make test hashes for
mskrb5, I noticed I get this warning when running against a lot of hashes:
Warning: excessive partial hash collisions detected
(cause: the "format" lacks proper binary_hash() function definitions)
True, I have no binary_hash() or get_hash() functions. As far as I can
tell, there's just no way to implement them for this format. I think you
could say it's implemented as "salt only". After crypt_all() I have a
partial decrypt of the input, that will contain known plaintext if the
key was correct. This means a get_hash() function has no chance of
producing anything that a binary_hash() could produce too.
Am I over-looking something here? Should I do it some other way?
If not, maybe there should be a way to tell john that it should not emit
that warning for this format (and possibly some others)? Maybe just the
fact that I'm also using fmt_default_binary()?
