thanks

Hi,
I'd like to inform you that a new version of john is going to appear (soon I
hope, it depends on my sponsor) in Debian/unstable. I'm CCing you because you
showed interest in the subject. Please review the bugreport [0] if you need
more info.

These are the relevant bits from the changelog entry for the upcoming version:

  * Added support for Microsoft Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 NTLM (MD4) hash [..]
  * Added support for Windows 2000/XP/2003 credentials cache hash [..]
  * Added support for LM/NTLMv1 challenge/response (ported from 1.7.0.2) [..]

I've already sent the source package to my sponsor -- I'll eventually manually
close the bug. If you want to compile (and test, please) the source package on
your own, here it is [1]. I hope you know how to make it ;)

Please note that I haven't included the "jumbo patch" (referenced in the
bugreport) because I'd like to have more control on what I include in my
package. If you need any other patch included, before posting, be assured that
it's present in the "Contributed patches" section at openwall.org [2]. If it's
present, it means it's been somehow approved by the upstream author, and I'll
apply it if no other problems occur (i.e. porting to new versions, ...).

Kindly,
David
