John the Ripper v1.8.0 Released


iSpeech
John the Ripper is free and Open Source software, distributed primarily in source code form. If
you would rather use a commercial product tailored for your specific operating system, please
consider John the Ripper Pro, which is distributed primarily in the form of “native” packages for
the target operating systems and in general is meant to be easier to install and use while
delivering optimal performance.

Changelog v1.8.0

-Revised the incremental mode to let the current character counts grow for each
character position independently, with the aim to improve efficiency in terms of
successful guesses per candidate passwords tested.
-Revised the pre-defined incremental modes, as well as external mode filters that are
used to generate .chr files.
-Added makechr, a script to (re-)generate .chr files.
-Enhanced the status reporting to include four distinct speed metrics (g/s, p/s, c/s, and
C/s).
-Added the "--fork=N" and "--node=MIN[-MAX]/TOTAL" options for trivial parallel and
distributed processing.
In the external mode compiler, treat character literals as unsigned.
-Renamed many of the formats.
-Updated the documentation.
-Relaxed the license for many source files to cut-down BSD.
-Relaxed the license for John the Ripper as a whole from GPLv2 (exact version) to
GPLv2 or newer with optional OpenSSL and unRAR exceptions.
-Assorted other changes have been made.
