Package: john Version: 1.7.2-3~bpo40+1 Severity: wishlist I'd like to just run the single and wordlist modes. I think the simplest and most explicit way to do this is to introduce a "Modes" option to the configuration file john.conf as well as options to specify rulesets for each mode. For example:
[Options] # A comma-separated list of modes to run. Allowed modes include # Single, Wordlist, Incremental Modes = Single, Wordlist, Incremental # A comma-separated list of mangling rules for the Single mode. Single = Single, MySingleRules # A comma-separated list of mangling rules for the Wordlist mode. Wordlist = Wordlist, MyWordlistRules # A comma-separated list of mangling rules for the Incremental mode. Incremental = Alpha, Digits, MyCustomRules With this in place, I would do away with the default of running through all modes. John would explicitly run the modes in the Modes option. I think these changes would make John much easier to understand out of the box and more flexible as well. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable'), (20, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-6-686 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.utf8) Versions of packages john depends on: ii john-data 1.7.2-3~bpo40+1 active password cracking tool - ch ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13etch7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8c-4etch3 SSL shared libraries john recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
