Hello,

It's been another half a year, and a new John is finally out:
http://www.false.com/security/john/

John the Ripper is a password cracker, currently available for UNIX, DOS,
WinNT/Win95. Its primary purpose is to detect weak UNIX passwords.

 Changes from v1.5 to v1.6
---------------------------
* Batch mode: easier to use.
* Kerberos AFS passwords support.
* WinNT passwords support (LM hashes only).
* Idle priority support on Linux.
* Rule reject flags: can reject entire rules on condition.
* New utility: 'unique' (removes duplicated lines without re-ordering).
* New options: '-stdout', '-status'.
* GNU-style long options support.
* New make targets for AIX, HP-UX, IRIX.
* Bug and portability fixes, and new bugs.

Signed,
Solar Designer
