Package: john Version: 1.6-39 Priority: wishlist This is just a reminder that Solar Designer has released a new version of John the Ripper (1.7).
From http://www.openwall.com/john/doc/CHANGES.shtml : * Bitslice DES code for x86 with MMX: more than twice faster than older * non-bitslice MMX code. * Bitsliced the LM hash code as well: now several times faster. * Significant improvements to the generic bitslice DES code: +20% on RISC. * PowerPC G4+ AltiVec support (Mac OS X and Linux): effective 128-bitness for * bitslice DES, resulting in huge speedups. * First attempt at generic vectorization support for bitslice DES. * Two MD5 hashes at a time for extra ILP on RISC: up to +80% on Alpha EV5+. * Generic Blowfish x86 assembly code in addition to the original Pentium * version: +15% on the Pentium Pro family (up to and including Pentium III), * +20% on AMD K6 (Pentium 4 and newer AMD CPUs are more happy running the * original Pentium code for Blowfish). * Verbose logging of events to the global or a session-specific log file. * Better idle priority emulation with POSIX.1b (POSIX.4) scheduling calls. * System-wide installation support for *BSD ports and Linux distributions. * AIX, DU/Tru64 C2, HP-UX tcb files support in unshadow. * New make targets for Linux/x86-64, Linux/PowerPC, FreeBSD/Alpha, * OpenBSD/x86-64, OpenBSD/Alpha, OpenBSD/SPARC, OpenBSD/SPARC64, * OpenBSD/PowerPC, OpenBSD/PA-RISC, OpenBSD/VAX, NetBSD/VAX, Solaris/SPARC64, * Mac OS X (PowerPC and x86), SCO, BeOS. * Bug and portability fixes, and new bugs. * Bonus: "Strip" cracker included in the default john.conf (john.ini).
