The http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/12833 page mentions several
other iteration counts as well. I wonder if Apple makes the iteration
count random (within some range) and stores the value along with the
hash. (BTW, I think making the iteration count random is a bad idea.
It is also not a new one.)
Once you crack the iteration counts for a few sample hashes (or even for
just one of them), please search for the iteration count in nearby data
(assume little-endian first).
