[plug] john the ripper

[William Kenworthy]

Thanks Matt, all good info, most of which has been not obvious in the
sources I checked.  One discrepancy - you say you can do 100,000 c/s
with john but I am showing much less - can you confirm the figures you
give?

* running without nice gives a solid 2916 c/s each time

Found some docs installed with it and it appears that it doest use all
possible characters by default - seems like something simple has turned
"difficult"
