Hi Dhiru -

So I posted our latest announcement to:

http://www.reddit.com/r/netsec/comments/ifdlt/john_the_ripper_is_not_just_for_hashes_ssh/

and the /r/netsec/ folks appear to like your project a lot:

145 points (87% like it)
168 up votes 23 down votes
30 comments

(many of the comments are my replies, though).

That's in 18 hours.  I guess this should encourage you. :-)

Specific feature requests:

.dmg files

WPA (requested via private email to me, in response to my announce@ posting)

GPU support

Putting candidate passwords in an input box (or whatever UI element) of
arbitrary third-party apps (Norton Ghost was mentioned).

Thanks,

Alexander
