John the Ripper ute i ny version

Lösenordsknäckningsverktyget (woh, långt ord) John the Ripper är nu ute i version 1.7.9. Största ändringen är att OMP-patcharna (OpenMP) nu finns med som standard.

Changelog enligt följande (engelska)

  • Added optional parallelization of the MD5-based crypt(3) code with OpenMP.
  • Added optional parallelization of the bitslice DES code with OpenMP.
  • Replaced the bitslice DES key setup algorithm with a faster one, which significantly improves performance at LM hashes, as well as at DES-based crypt(3) hashes when there’s just one salt (or very few salts).
  • Optimized the DES S-box x86-64 (16-register SSE2) assembly code.
  • Added support for 10-character DES-based tripcodes (not optimized yet).
  • Added support for the “$2y$” prefix of bcrypt hashes.
  • Added two more hash table sizes (16M and 128M entries) for faster processing of very large numbers of hashes per salt (over 1M).
  • Added two pre-defined external mode variables: “abort” and “status”, which let an external mode request the current cracking session to be aborted or the status line to be displayed, respectively.
  • Made some minor optimizations to external mode function calls and virtual machine implementation of John the Ripper.
  • The “–make-charset” option now uses floating-point rather than 64-bit integer operations, which allows for larger CHARSET_settings in params.h.
  • Added runtime detection of Intel AVX and AMD XOP instruction set extensions, with optional fallback to an alternate program binary.
  • In OpenMP-enabled builds, added support for fallback to a non-OpenMP build when the requested thread count is 1.
  • Added relbench, a Perl script to compare two “john –test” benchmark runs, such as for different machines, “make” targets, C compilers, optimization options, or/and versions of John the Ripper.
  • Additional public lists of “top N passwords” have been merged into the bundled common passwords list, and some insufficiently common passwords were removed from the list.

John the Ripper 1.7.7

Nu har den populära knäckningsprogrammvaran John the Ripper släppts i en ny version, nämligen 1.7.7.

Ändringar är enligt följande (på engelska):

* Added Intel AVX and AMD XOP instruction sets support for bitslice DES (with C compiler intrinsics). New make targets: linux-x86-64-avx, linux-x86-64-xop, linux-x86-avx, and linux-x86-xop (these require recent versions of GCC and GNU binutils).
* A ”dummy” ”format” is now supported (plaintext passwords encoded in hexadecimal and prefixed with ”$dummy$”) – for faster testing and tuning of custom wordlists, rule sets, .chr files, and external modes on already known or artificial passwords, as well as for testing of future and modified versions of John itself.
* Apache ”$apr1$” MD5-based password hashes are now supported along with the FreeBSD-style MD5-based crypt(3) hashes that were supported previously. Hashes of both of these types may be loaded for cracking simultaneously.
* The ”–salts” option threshold is now applied before removal of previously cracked hashes for consistent behavior with interrupted and continued sessions.
* The ”Idle = Y” setting (which is the default) is now ignored for OpenMP-enabled hash types when the actual number of threads is greater than 1. (Unfortunately, it did not work right at least with GNU libgomp on Linux.)
* When a cracking session terminates or is interrupted, John will now warn the user if the cracked passwords printed to the terminal while cracking are potentially incomplete. It will advise the user to use the ”–show” option to see the complete set of cracked passwords with proper post-processing.
* When loading hashes specified on a line on their own (feature introduced in 1.7.6), the loader will now ignore leading and trailing whitespace.
* Unless a hash type is forced from the command line, the loader will now print warnings about additional hash types seen in the input files (beyond the hash type autodetected initially).
* For use primarily by the jumbo patch (and later by future enhancements to the official versions as well), the loader now includes logic to warn the user of ambiguous hash encodings (e.g. LM vs. NTLM vs. raw-MD5, all of which may be represented as 32 hexadecimal characters) and of excessive partial hash collisions, which it works around (these are typically caused by an incomplete implementation of a new hash type).
* The ”unique” and ”unshadow” programs have been made significantly faster.
* ”DateTime”, ”Repeats”, ”Subsets”, ”AtLeast1-Simple”, ”AtLeast1-Generic”, and ”Policy” external mode samples have been added to the default john.conf.
* The self-tests have been enhanced to detect more kinds of program bugs.
* A few minor bug fixes and enhancements were made.
