Package: john Version: 1.7.3.1-1 Severity: normal "man john" says "While cracking, you can press any key for status" but for some reason this does not seem to work if I start john from a shell script:
Steps to reproduce: 1) echo abc:0bee89b07a248e27c83fc3d5951213c1 > testcase 2) /usr/sbin/john --format=raw-MD5 testcase 3) wait 10 seconds 4) hit enter 5) echo "/usr/sbin/john --format=raw-MD5 testcase" > testcase.sh 6) bash testcase.sh 7) wait 10 seconds 8) hit enter Expected results: 4 & 8) in both cases john prints the status every time you hit enter: Loaded 1 password hash (Raw MD5 [raw-md5]) guesses: 0 time: 0:00:00:02 (3) c/s: 4728K trying: pm48ss - pm4239 guesses: 0 time: 0:00:00:03 (3) c/s: 5445K trying: p1zb2 - p18s4 guesses: 0 time: 0:00:00:05 (3) c/s: 5835K trying: sopybug - sopybro guesses: 0 time: 0:00:00:07 (3) c/s: 6367K trying: mlbm0e - ml208b Actual results: 4) works as expected 8) does not print anything More info: 1) ls -l /proc/$(pidof john)/fd shows that /dev/tty is not open at all in step 8. 2) If I run john under strace it also does not print status when I hit enter (also /dev/tty is not open). -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.4 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/6 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages john depends on: ii john-data 1.7.3.1-1 active password cracking tool - ch ii libc6 2.11.3-2 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8o-4squeeze7 SSL shared libraries john recommends no packages.
