Your guesses entered so far will actually be checked against the hashes
when either all of the buffers fill up (stdin stream buffer and JtR's
own plaintext keys buffer, the latter one of which is hash type and
build specific) or there's EOF on the input stream. So in your specific
example, you'd press Ctrl-D. In Johnny, you'd flush the Johnny-side
buffer (if any exists) and then close the file descriptor. Obviously,
this will also cause john to terminate once it's checked the plaintexts
entered up to that point.
