app-crypt/johntheripper currently includes additional hashes from the john-1.7.2-all-7.diff.gz patch found on openwall.com. However the patch doesn't include support for Oracle hashes. Support should be added somehow. Might be required to adapt bigpatch-17.diff from http://www.banquise.net/misc/patch-john.html since it was made for 1.6.38. I see that -r3 does mention something about bigpatch but I'm not sure what the author meant. Did someone already port the patch to 1.7.2? Otherwise I might take a look into it. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge johntheripper 2. john | grep -i oracle 3. Actual Results: no output Expected Results: --format=NAME force ciphertext format NAME: DES/BSDI/MD5/BF/AFS/LM/NT/PO/raw-MD5/IPB2/raw-sha1/md5a/KRB5/bfegg/nsldap/ssha/MYSQL/mscash/lotus5/DOMINOSEC/NETLM/NETNTLM/Oracle (or similar)
Nevermind, closing my own bug report: unstable r4 supports the Oracle hashes many more.
