Here is another couple 'fun' ones for john:
[310d316e6b61]
[326d610d6b61]
[3174650d6b61]
These have a carriage return in them (the 0d). There are 3 characters which are very hard to deal with in JtR. That is \x00 (null), \x0a and \x0d (line feed and carriage return). Also, the ':' can be tough in certain situations (but is not a problem for an input wordlist). The \x0a and \x0d 'can' be handled in wordlist (using rules, external or mask). I am not sure if john can (or ever will) be able to handle a null byte. It may be that we can handle them with mask mode, I am not sure. It will almost certainly never be able to handle embedded null bytes in wordlist mode
