Subject: Re: gpg2john working for symmetric encryption?

hi,

i have been using a fresh clone from git today, so it is definitely the
most up to date version.

Here are my results from the same commands as you:

$ gpg -c --cipher-algo cast5 -o file.gpg < /bin/bash
$ ./gpg2john file.gpg > pw-gpg-cast5
[gpg2john] MDC is misssing, expect false positives!
unknown(pub 133)
unknown version (17).
$ wc pw-gpg-cast5
       1       1   28395 pw-gpg-cast5
$ ./john -w=password.lst pw-gpg-cast5
Warning: detected hash type "gpg", but the string is also recognized as
"gpg-opencl"
Use the "--format=gpg-opencl" option to force loading these as that type
instead
Using default input encoding: UTF-8
Loaded 1 password hash (gpg, OpenPGP / GnuPG Secret Key [32/64])
Will run 8 OpenMP threads
Press 'q' or Ctrl-C to abort, almost any other key for status
0g 0:00:00:25 DONE (2017-07-06 23:35) 0g/s 137.4p/s 137.4c/s 137.4C/s
mobydick..sss
Session completed

Those initial errors about the 12 hashes from john have stopped appearing.
We can put it down to user error I suppose...
