In addition to the questions/issues I posted separately:

You don't appear to fully test the incorrect password indices.  You only
check cmp_all() for those.  You should be checking cmp_one() and
cmp_exact() as well, just like you do for the correct password indices,
but expecting the opposite result.  You may also check the largest
get_hash().  (False positives are too likely for smaller sizes, but
27-bit should be good enough.)

Why do you exclude the VNC format from the cmp_one() test?  This looks
wrong to me.  I mean this:

if (format->methods.cmp_one(binary, i) && strcmp(format->params.label, "VNC"))
