You can use these settings in john.conf:
[Incremental:All5]
File = $JOHN/all.chr
MinLen = 5
MaxLen = 5
CharCount = 95
[List.External:Cs-5]
void filter()
{
word[8] = 0;
word[7] = '5';
word[6] = word[4];
word[5] = word[3];
word[4] = word[2];
word[3] = word[1];
word[2] = word[0];
word[1] = 's';
word[0] = 'C';
}
To see that these work as desired, run:
john -i=all5 -e=cs-5 -stdout | head
On my system, the output is:
Cssammy5
Csstark5
Csstart5
Csstack5
Csstace5
Cssteve5
Csstevy5
Cssteen5
Cssteet5
Csmaris5
To actually start cracking your password, run:
john -i=all5 -e=cs-5 passwd

I've provided the configuration settings above. For a single
traditional DES-based crypt(3) hash, this should get your password
cracked within a day worst case on a not-too-ancient CPU (100k c/s).
In practice, you will likely get the password cracked much earlier.
If you're on an x86 system, you should be using an MMX-enhanced build
of John.
