Package: john Version: 1.7.3.1-1 Severity: wishlist Using the stock Debian john package, my Core i7 920 system can check 297369K NT MD4 hashes per second ("Generic 1x").
I built john myself using 'make linux-x86-64' and got a speed boost to 322962K checks per second ("128/128 X2 SSE2-16"). I also see AVX and XOP variants in the makefile. My preferred solution would be to build and ship all available variants under different names and let the user choose which one to run. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.1 APT prefers stable APT policy: (550, 'stable'), (540, 'stable-updates'), (520, 'testing'), (510, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-bpo.5-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.utf8 (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 2.11.2-10 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8o-4squeeze1 SSL shared libraries john recommends no packages.
