John the Ripper v1.6 (fwd)




checking your network's security "loosest link of the chain" doesn't end
with blocking services and using tripwire, I try to crack my users'
passwords and push them to use better ones all the time. Just becarefull
when and where you do it, Intel already sued a security consultant for
this (famous story...)

Subject: John the Ripper v1.6

Hello,

It's been another half a year, and a new John is finally out:
http://www.false.com/security/john/

John the Ripper is a password cracker, currently available for UNIX, DOS,
WinNT/Win95. Its primary purpose is to detect weak UNIX passwords.

 Changes from v1.5 to v1.6
---------------------------
* Batch mode: easier to use.
* Kerberos AFS passwords support.
* WinNT passwords support (LM hashes only).
* Idle priority support on Linux.
* Rule reject flags: can reject entire rules on condition.
* New utility: 'unique' (removes duplicated lines without re-ordering).
* New options: '-stdout', '-status'.
* GNU-style long options support.
* New make targets for AIX, HP-UX, IRIX.
* Bug and portability fixes, and new bugs.

Signed,
