Thank you! How has this been tested? Do we have suitable sample files in https://github.com/openwall/john-samples? |

Oh wasn't aware of that repo! I just submitted a separate PR there :) |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
This is clearly an improvement. Thanks!
While I left two comments, I think this would be still acceptable as is.
Side note: This is no longer compatible with python2, which is fine for me but I know that @solardiz was in favor of maintaining compatibility as far as possible. However, since this depends on a third party library that might have diverged after the EOL of Python2 (I don't know), this might be an unreasonable effort.
Yes, the core pysap library has moved into Python 3 only, and keeping backwards compatibility is not planned, so it will be a big effort to add it just for this script. |
