Here's a beautyfully simple thought: If we could force John to serve the salts (the current code's salt structs) in essid order, so any same-essid salts would always be *consecutive*, we'd do fine with this one-line change to crypt_all:
crypt_all(count)
{
+ if (new_keys || strcmp(last_essid, cur_salt->essid))
for (i = just like current code)
pbkdf2(just like current code)
post_process(count);
}
Unless I'm confused now, this is all there is to it (except trivially introducing new_keys and last_essid). But how would we accomplish that prerequisite? We could have pcap2john sort its output, but would that guarantee John would use them in that order? Anyway this would be non-ideal - eg. if concatenating input files, they might become unsorted.
