Subject: single character passwords on stdout
HI Folk
Over the weekend I ran a couple of thousand LM hashes through JTR. I
remembered seeing a whole bunch of single character passwords scroll
up the screen and vanish rapidly off the top. Later I used --show to
get the cracked passwords but was unable to find any passwords with a
single character. By this time the start of the output was off the
top of the scroll buffer so I could not verify what I had seen.
What I did find in the --show output were several passwords listed
as ???????X where 'X' was a digit or uppercase char. I'm guessing
that these were what I briefly glimpsed disappearing off the screen
and represent the second hash from an 8 char password which JtR
processes separately.
Correct?
Russell
