As I explained in my reply to the other Eric, this is not what the
example is about and is not what it says. "--make-charset" was
originally intended for processing your previously-cracked passwords to
train incremental mode on. It will not read a wordlist. You can,
however, create a fake john.pot file for it to read, like this:
sed 's/^/:/' < custom.txt > john.pot
and then generate a charset file like this:
./john --make-charset=custom.chr
But you should probably simply use mask mode instead of this hack around
crunch and incremental mode. Mask mode is intended to do just what you
seem to be trying to do.
I am unaware of any use case for crunch along with JtR given what JtR's
built-in mask mode is capable of.
