Subject: Re: working with large files
I'm often working with 500k/1M saltless passwords. An usual task is to
run john on LM hashes for a few minutes to prune the file before doing
the whole rainbowcrack stuff.

Here, for a 1M pwd file the 64K entries hash table is 5 times faster
than the standard one (when few passwords are found). This is definitely
useful.

My issue here is that I do not want to run john for mouths before
running rainbowcrack on the hard hashes. I want to spend a few minutes
to remove the low hanging fruits.

I will try to do that properly next week.
