No, the rest of JtR should take care of this for you if you define your
"format" correctly.

No, nothing major.  I think that your bug is elsewhere.  Maybe you have
not defined SALT_SIZE correctly (it should be 2 in your case).  Maybe
you have not adjusted the definition of "struct fmt_main fmt_OSC" to
refer to both functions.

Also, normally the salt() function (oscmd5_get_salt() in your case)
would not alter the salt set with set_salt().  I don't recall any code
in JtR that would depend on this, though, but I also don't recall any
other "format" that would "test" doing things in your way - so this is
something you could want to fix.  For example, you could do:

static void *get_salt(char *ciphertext)
{
	return ciphertext + 5;
}

static void set_salt(void *salt)
{
	memcpy(OSCSalt, salt, SALT_SIZE);
}

(assuming that the rest of your code does not rely on OSCSalt being
NUL-terminated - there should be no need for that).
