The above wordlist ruleset line is correct, and it will actually try the
password "jim2409" (and many others) provided that "jim" is in the
wordlist. It will not try all of the dates in your "UK/USA format",
though (like "jim1231"). And it will try some non-dates.
For those who don't know, the "<5" at the beginning of the above ruleset
line tells John to apply the rest of the rules produced from this line
only to input words that are shorter than 5 characters. This restriction
may be desirable when both of the following two assertions are true:
1. The password hash type limits the length of passwords (or password
halves, if applicable) to 8 characters.
2. Other ruleset lines exist that try appending fewer than 4 digits to
passwords of 5 to 7 characters long.
In order to implement this optimization yet not hard-code a maximum
password length in the ruleset, the commands "<*", ">*", "<-", and ">-"
may be used. For example:
# Some [birth] years...
l$1<-$9$[7-96-0]>-
l$2<-$0$0>-
l$1$9<-$[7-9]$[0-9]
l$2$0<-$0$[0-9]
l$1$9<-$[6-0]$[9-0]
