Subject: Openwall, Reddit and an idea for Johnny
Hey Solar,
I think it's great and useful you got onto Reddit, so that we can
attract more people to Openwall and John and to get cool ideas for new
development(read bellow).
I must make a real account for my self too and use it, insted of throw
away accounts or as a guest. :)
While reading the reddit threads you submitted I got a cool idea for a
plugin(or default functionality) to Johnny that actually would make
sense to be GUI only:

It'd be nice if it didnt need manual configuration for brute-forcing
non-standard encryption containers like what Norton Ghost uses for
backups. I had to script autohotkey for entering all the possible
permutations I could've used into the text box prompt.

Yeah, there's this feature request. Unfortunately, the feature would
be very specific to each target platform and to each UI type.
Arguably, there should be per-platform tools that will work in
conjunction with JtR (reading candidate passwords produced by "john
--stdout" from a pipe).

This could be implemented from the GUI and to use john --stdout. This
is actually a secondary best use case for --stdout along with creating
dictionaries.
I perfectly relate to Gontoran's usage case, where I used AutoIt[1]
once, to crack a password to a non-standard format that was accepting
GUI only input(black box approach), in a virtual machine. Took weeks
to succeed, but I did eventually. Heh.
PS: Don't forget about the irc announcements on the homepage, twitter
and what else you think necessary.
