Okay, just want to see what i'm doing wrong here:
Using passwords i already know that I put in a list I generate a john.pot as follows:
$ john --stdin passwd < mylist
bBrfFdnc (user1)
CzOplCet (user2)
guesses: 2 time: 0:00:00:00 c/s: 10.71 trying: bBrfFdnc - CzOplCet
then as you suggest i create a character file from this:
$ john --make-charset=my.chr passwd
Loaded 2 plaintexts
Generating charsets... 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 DONE
Generating cracking order... DONE
Successfully written charset file: my.chr (14 characters)
I also add this section to john.conf
[Incremental:my]
File = $JOHN/my.chr
MinLen = 8
MaxLen = 8
CharCount = 52
Yet when I now attempt to use this to crack the passwords:
$ ./john -i=my passwd
Loaded 1 password hash (Traditional DES [64/64 BS MMX])
Warning: only 14 characters available
I still get that warning despite adding the Charcount in the john.conf file?!
