JtR will only succeed if the password is based on frequently used characters. If it is truly random and 8 characters long, JtR will not be able to crack it.
Sure it will, it just takes adjustments to john.conf and a *lot* longer. djohn (distributed JtR) was written to address this : http://ktulu.com.ar/blog/software/djohn
I am talking about cracking the *entire* set of DES-based crypt hashes.
The EFF built a gizmo (in 1998 no less) that could to it in 4.5 days on average : http://www.schneier.com/crypto-gram-9808.html I'd bet a good VHDL programmer with the cash to cough up for top-notch Xlinix gear could do it cheaper and faster. Is this what you're planning on doing? ~Mike. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
