pts-core now handles K to numeric conversion so drop this faulty result-definition handling for certain cases of dynamic K.

pts/john-the-ripper-1.7.1   [View Source]   Sat, 08 Feb 2020 10:14:09 GMT
Fix for MD5 test run (JtR appending K to result, update parser) and Cygwin fix for Windows.

pts/john-the-ripper-1.7.0   [View Source]   Fri, 21 Jun 2019 19:56:15 GMT
Update against upstream JtR 1.9.0-jumbo-1.

Use gmake on BSDs

pts/john-the-ripper-1.6.1   [View Source]   Sat, 24 Mar 2018 18:01:13 GMT
Disable the configure native-tests to avoid some odd AVX-related build errors being reported on Linux systems

pts/john-the-ripper-1.6.0   [View Source]   Wed, 28 Feb 2018 11:30:09 GMT
Update against JTR 1.8.0-jumbo-1, prep initial Windows support.

pts/john-the-ripper-1.5.1   [View Source]   Sun, 10 Aug 2014 12:14:29 GMT
Support for building John The Ripper on non-x86 architectures. Change submitted by Michael Schloh.

pts/john-the-ripper-1.5.0   [View Source]   Fri, 10 Jan 2014 14:09:42 GMT
Update against upstream John The Ripper 1.8.0.

pts/john-the-ripper-1.4.1   [View Source]   Wed, 23 Jan 2013 13:14:38 GMT
Disable the cache share since the latest JTR upstream version seems to have issues with the parsing when using the PTS cache share.

pts/john-the-ripper-1.4.0   [View Source]   Thu, 04 Oct 2012 00:11:49 GMT
Update against John The Ripper 1.7.9-jumbo-7 upstream plus use openssl-development external dependency.

pts/john-the-ripper-1.3.0   [View Source]   Tue, 21 Feb 2012 10:45:27 GMT
Set the OMPFLAGS on make.

Performance Metrics

Analyze Test Configuration:

John The Ripper 1.8.0

Test: Traditional DES

OpenBenchmarking.org metrics for this test profile configuration based on 2,539 public results since 10 January 2014 with the latest data as of 4 December 2023.

Below is an overview of the generalized performance for components where there is sufficient statistically significant data based upon user-uploaded results. It is important to keep in mind particularly in the Linux/open-source space there can be vastly different OS configurations, with this overview intended to offer just general guidance as to the performance expectations.

Based on OpenBenchmarking.org data, the selected test / test configuration (John The Ripper 1.8.0 - Test: Traditional DES) has an average run-time of 4 minutes. By default this test profile is set to run at least 3 times but may increase if the standard deviation exceeds pre-defined defaults or other calculations deem additional runs necessary for greater statistical accuracy of the result.

Does It Scale Well With Increasing Cores?

No, based on the automated analysis of the collected public benchmark data, this test / test settings does not generally scale well with increasing CPU core counts. Data based on publicly available results for this test / test settings, separated by vendor, result divided by the reference CPU clock speed, grouped by matching physical CPU core count, and normalized against the smallest core count tested from each vendor for each CPU having a sufficient number of test samples and statistically significant data.
