Subject: Re: What type of passwords does john crack?

 hmm it appears all these passwords are 31 characters. I guess that
basically means john wont do anything with it?
actually I grabbed the code from which these "MD5" passwords are created
from..

// MD5 Encryption

function md5_hmac($data, $key)

{

if (strlen($key) > 64)

$key = pack('H*', md5($key));

$key = str_pad($key, 64, chr(0x00));

$k_ipad = $key ^ str_repeat(chr(0x36), 64);

$k_opad = $key ^ str_repeat(chr(0x5c), 64);

return md5($k_opad . pack('H*', md5($k_ipad . $data)));

}

appertenly it says there MD5's?!?!...

actually it appears to be a common problem on google. I reinstalled
everything including the latest jumbo patch and this problem still exists..
not a biggie though for me anyways, just letting you know this problem
exists.
