Yes: I've just registered a john-users team for the contest, although at
this point I don't yet know if it'll be just me or a team. I/we will
deliberately avoid the use of "competing" tools (besides, the only good
ones I'm aware of are closed-source). Let's see if we can build a team:
Anyone want to represent us at DEFCON? In case we win a prize, I am
going to let this person decide on what to do with the prize - keep it
for themselves (I am perfectly OK with that!) or distribute some or all
of it to any other participants of the team.
Anyone want to join the team cracking passwords? I'll setup private
communication channels for us if so. Please mention your preference -
PGP e-mail or/and an OpenVZ container on/with an Owl system and
per-team-member shell accounts maybe, also with an append-only directory
for sharing files. For non-sensitive stuff (e.g., "I uploaded file X,
please merge"), we can also use an IRC channel on Freenode.
Because of the extreme heat here in Moscow, I am not going to throw a
lot of computing power at this, and I am also not going to spend a lot
of my own time on it, especially considering that I am not competing
for a prize (and that, frankly, even the first place prize is a bit too
small). Yet I'd like to let/help others in here participate as a team,
so please do contact me to join. :-)
Minga - the contest website says that stats won't be published for teams
that are not (yet) eligible for winning a prize. I suggest that you
reconsider this. Publish those stats as well, but clearly mark the
corresponding entries as ineligible. And - Thank You for the contest!
Alexander
