For raw-sha512, there may be just 64 chars in hex or tag and then 64
chars in hex. I'd like to see fixed length for hex (currently only max
length may be specified). I'd like to see a function to be used in
split() that makes canonical hash: adds the tag and lowercases the hex
part. (binary() is called after split().)
I tried to use the lib. So far I have:
#define HASH_FORMAT "%*h"
#define HASH_FORMAT_TAGGED FORMAT_TAG HASH_FORMAT
static int valid(char *ciphertext, struct fmt_main *self)
{
return proc_valid(ciphertext, HASH_FORMAT, BINARY_SIZE)
|| proc_valid(ciphertext, HASH_FORMAT_TAGGED, BINARY_SIZE);
}
Original split()
static void *binary(char *ciphertext)
{
static unsigned char buf[BINARY_SIZE];
size_t len;
proc_extract(ciphertext, HASH_FORMAT_TAGGED, &len, buf);
return buf;
}
( proc_extract(ciphertext, HASH_FORMAT_TAGGED, IGNORE_NUM, buf);
gave me segfault there.)
Most probably static buffer has to be replaced with static pointer to
reduce size of john's binary:
static unsigned char *buf;
if (!buf)
buf = mem_alloc_tiny(BINARY_SIZE, MEM_ALIGN_WORD);
The code works for good bare hashes. But it will work wrong for
shorter hashes. It fails self tests because $SHA512$ without hex
part is tried:
FAILED (promiscuous valid ($SHA512$))
Interestingly format tag is not part of fmt_main, the tag is extracted
from self tests matching $ (so the test will not be applied if the tag
is not in $).
It is possible to write valid() using the lib as is but it would be
ugly. I think %0-*h or %1-*h may be used to specify variable length,
while %10h should specify fixed length like %10-10h but with 1 value
to be specified in case of *. Though %10h and %10-10h may be different
in another way too: it is not needed to return the length with %10h.
Thanks!
