John the Ripper 1.7.7 new version Released ! "John the Ripper is a fast password cracker, currently available for many flavors of Unix, Windows, DOS, BeOS, and OpenVMS. Its primary purpose is to detect weak Unix passwords. It supports several crypt(3) password hash types commonly found on Unix systems, as well as Windows LM hashes." This is the change log for JtR version 1.7.7: Added Intel AVX and AMD XOP instruction sets support for bitslice DES (with C compiler intrinsics). New make targets: linux-x86-64-avx, linux-x86-64-xop, linux-x86-avx, and linux-x86-xop (these require recent versions of GCC and GNU binutils). A "dummy" "format" is now supported (plaintext passwords encoded in hexadecimal and prefixed with "$dummy$") – for faster testing and tuning of custom wordlists, rule sets, .chr files, and external modes on already known or artificial passwords, as well as for testing of future and modified versions of John itself. Apache "$apr1$" MD5-based password hashes are now ...

FBI vs Coreflood botnet The FBI's unprecedented effort to behead the Coreflood botnet—comprised of millions of hacked Windows machines—appears to be working, at least for now. The bureau has tracked a dramatic decline in the number of pings from the botnet since the takedown operation began earlier this month, according to court documents filed by the Justice Department on Monday. The number of pings from infected US systems plummeted from nearly 800,000 to less than 100,000 in about a week after authorities began sending out "stop" commands to those machines—a drop of nearly 90 percent. Pings from infected computers outside the US have also dropped about 75 percent, likely as a result of a parallel outreach effort to foreign ISPs. The government's efforts have "temporarily stopped Coreflood from running on infected computers in the United States," writes the government in its filing, "and have stopped Coreflood from updating itself, thereby enabling anti-virus software vendors...
