You're wrong about that. "MaxLen = 8" is enough since these hashes
truncate passwords at 8 characters. Of the two hashes above, the first
one gets cracked instantly and the other takes under 15 minutes to crack
on a modern system with John's default settings (no command line
options). You similarly did not need to increase MinLen or to restrict
John to alphanumeric characters.
