WARNING
This is ALPHA software, full of bugs, some of them being
likely to be security holes.
Besides, there is no client authentification, so anybody
could impersonate a client and alter your search results.
Only use it on a trusted network!

• Cipher's near source compatibility with John the
  Ripper. Bob the Butcher benefits from the fast
  algorithms that have been develloped for John:

  Password hash	Author
  Traditionnal DES	Solar Designer
  BSDI DES	Solar Designer
  FreeBSD MD5	Solar Designer
  Windows NTLM (MD4) MMX/SSE2	bartavelle
  Windows Cache (mscash)	bartavelle
  Raw MD5 (hex-encoded)	bartavelle
  Raw SHA1 (hex-encoded)	bartavelle
  MySQL passwords	Noah Williamsson
  Netscape LDAP SHA	Sun-Zero
  Netscape LDAP SHA MMX/SSE2	Bartavelle
  Lotus Domino	Jeff Fay
  Oracle Passwords	Bartavelle

• Password cracking speed scales linearly with the
  number of cracking clients.

• Central server that can handles several jobs,
  supporting different priorities (in the future :).

• Smart keyspace distribution when several jobs are
  using the same algorithm (not for now).

New to v0.7.1 :

• Increased solaris compatibility
• Many cipher bugs resolved
• Still bugs with original john's plugins under sparc

Build instructions
Only works on pentium or later (and solaris now ...)!
./configure --enable-debug
make
cd bob_client
./bob_client -b

If it segfaults, try again with:
./configure --enable-debug --disable-sse2

bob_server
Just run ./bob_server -k SECRET_KEY

bob_admin
Use it to add jobs and check status. For now only
the following commands work:

• newjob : add a new job
• status : gives general status
• jobinf : give detailled status

bob_client Put this one on as many computers as possible,
and just run:
./bob_client -d -k SECRET_KEY server_host_name
