 john-1.7.6-1.fc12 (FEDORA-2010-13407)
 John the Ripper password cracker
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

The following changes have been made between John 1.7.5.1 and 1.7.6:    *
Generic crypt(3) support (enabled with "--format=crypt") has been added for
auditing password hash types supported by the system but not yet supported by
John's own optimized cryptographic routines (such as "SHA-crypt" and SunMD5).  *
Optional parallelization of the above has been implemented by means of OpenMP
along with glibc's crypt_r(3) or Solaris' MT-safe crypt(3C).  * Optional
parallelization of John's own optimized code for the OpenBSD-style  Blowfish-
based crypt(3) (bcrypt) hashes with OpenMP has been added.  * A more suitable
version of 32-bit x86 assembly code for Blowfish is now  chosen on Core i7 and
similar CPUs (when they happen to run a 32-bit build).  * More optimal DES S-box
expressions for PowerPC with AltiVec (making use of  the conditional select
operation) contributed by Dumplinger Boy (Dango-Chu)  have been integrated.  *
The bitslice DES C source code has been reworked to allow for the use of
arbitrary SIMD intrinsics, which was previously only implemented for AltiVec  as
a special case.  * Support for SSE2 and MMX intrinsics with bitslice DES (as an
alternative to  the supplied assembly code) has been added (currently only
enabled for SSE2 on  x86-64 when compiling with GCC 4.4+).  * Support for mixed-
type longer virtual vectors (such as SSE2+MMX, SSE2+ALU,  AltiVec+ALU, and other
combinations) with bitslice DES has been added (not  enabled by default yet,
primarily intended for easy benchmarks on future CPUs,  with future compiler
versions, with even more SIMD instruction sets, and with  different DES S-box
expressions that might be available in the future).  * The obsolete 32-bit SPARC
assembly implementation of DES has been dropped.  * The loader will now detect
password hashes specified on a line on their own,  not only as part of an
/etc/passwd or PWDUMP format file.  * When run in "--stdin" mode and reading
candidate passwords from a terminal  (to be typed by the user), John will no
longer mess with the terminal settings.  * John will now restore terminal
settings not only on normal termination or  interrupt, but also when forcibly
interrupted with two Ctrl-C keypresses.    The following changes have been made
between John 1.7.5 and 1.7.5.1:    * A new numeric variable has been added to
the word mangling rules engine:  "p" for position of the character last found
with the "/" or "%" commands.    The following changes have been made between
John 1.7.4.2 and 1.7.5:    * Support for the use of "--format" along with "--
show" or "--make-charset" has  been added.  * The choice of .rec and .log
filenames for custom session names has been made  more intuitive.  * Support for
"\r" (character lists with repeats) and "\p0" (reference to the  immediately
preceding character list/range) has been added to the word mangling  rules
preprocessor.  * The undefined and undocumented behavior of some subtle word
mangling rules  preprocessor constructs has been changed to arguably be more
sensible.  * Some bugs were fixed, most notably JtR crashing on no password
hashes loaded  (bug introduced in 1.7.4.2).    The following changes have been
made between John 1.7.4 and 1.7.4.2:    * Major performance improvements for
processing of very large password files  or sets of files, especially with salt-
less or same-salt hashes, achieved  primarily through introduction of two
additional hash table sizes (64K and 1M  entries), changes to the loader, and
smarter processing of successful guesses  (to accommodate getting thousands of
hashes successfully cracked per second).  * Many default buffer and hash table
sizes have been increased and thresholds  for the use of hash tables lowered,
meaning that John will now tend to use  more memory to achieve better speed
(unless it is told not to with the  "--save-memory" option).  * Some previously
missed common website passwords found on public lists of  "top N passwords" have
been added to the bundled common passwords list.  * Some bugs introduced in
1.7.4 and affecting wordlist mode's elimination of  consecutive duplicate
candidate passwords have been fixed.    The following changes have been made
between John 1.7.3.4 and 1.7.4:    * Support for back-references and "parallel"
ranges has been added to the  word mangling rules preprocessor.  * The notion of
numeric variables (to be used for character positions  and substring lengths
along with numeric constants supported previously)  has been introduced into the
rules engine.  Two pre-defined variables  ("l" for initial or updated word's
length and "m" for initial or  memorized word's last character position) and 11
user-defined variables  ("a" through "k") have been added.  Additionally,
there's a new numeric  constant: "z" for "infinite" position or length.  * New
rule commands have been added: "A" (append, insert, or prefix with a  string),
"X" (extract a substring from memory and insert), "v" (subtract  and assign to a
numeric variable).  * New rule reject flags have been added: ":" (no-op, for use
along with the  "parallel" ranges feature of the preprocessor) and "p" (reject
unless word  pair commands are allowed, for sharing of the same ruleset between
"single  crack" and wordlist modes).  * Processing of word mangling rules has
been made significantly faster in  multiple ways (caching of the current length,
less copying of data, code  and data placement changes for better branch
prediction and L1 cache usage,  compiler-friendly use of local variables, code
micro-optimizations,  removal of no-op rule commands in an initial pass).  * The
default rulesets for "single crack" and wordlist modes have been  revised to
make use of the new features, for speed, to produce fewer  duplicates, and to
attempt additional kinds of candidate passwords (such  as for years 2010 through
2019 with "year-based" rules).  * The idle priority emulation code has been
optimized for lower overhead when  there appears to be no other demand for CPU
time.  * The default for the Idle setting has been changed from N to Y.
