Source: john Severity: wishlist The version of John The Ripper that's in Debian is very old and looks pretty much abandoned in favour of the proprietary version.
However, a community project has come out of this under the banner of John The Ripper Jumbo: https://github.com/magnumripper/JohnTheRipper We should ideally switch to that upstream version in Debian so that we have a more useful version of this password cracker. Francois
