We refer to two completely different processes or I completely miss the point. After an incorrect password is submitted, the authentication process waits a few seconds before allowing another try. Therefore if "John the ripper" is to success in two seconds, the correct pw must be submitted on the first try. That might happen once in an astronomical number of different authentications but not frequently. ... Unless magic is involved. (?) Regards, ...
