Subject: RE: sha1 + hex salt

This message was posted on john-dev, listing another way to proceed with this 'format'.  Solar asked that I also post this to the john-users list, mostly due to showing 'how' to do hex salt values.  I had forgotten that the hex prefix was added to the salt string last spring.  So, it is possible, to use a salt for this type problem (embedded nulls, embedded colon : characters, etc)

TO do that, build the salt like:

$HEX$hex_salt_value

Here is an example:
$dynamic_2202$ec21221f0ebdb1e3e2b19726ce6aa13f0b2748e6$HEX$000000000000000000

This is a salt with 9 NULL bytes

NOTE the HEX$ can be prepended to any salt.  There are no 'special' rules. Also, not every salt within an input file would have to be done that way.  This would be pefectly valid (if these were salts

$dynamic_8888$ec21221f0ebdb1e3e2b19726ce6aa13f0b2748e6$HEX$000000000000000000
$dynamic_8888$0001221f0ebdb1e3e2b19726ce6aa13f0b2748e6$abcdXyZ
$dynamic_8888$1111221f0ebdb1e3e2b19726ce6aa13f0b2748e6$HEX$5555555555

John would properly load these (they are nonsense example values).  It would properly convert the first one (9 NULLs), the second one is in 'normal' salt format, and the third one would be converted to MMMMM for the salt.
