I am trying to get the password. I tried the list Huggarine posted in this formats:
word
word + 2017 added
word + 2016 added
none of these combinations worked. I guess we have to wait for the scans.
I've been working on this for a few days now with the same logic, so far no luck. Since the author decided to publish his new work on the first day of 2017 I've been appending that to the generated words.
I've been making more use of the mask feature with things like this:
CODE
john --wordlist=japanese_hepburn4_v2.txt --mask=?w[acbedgfihkjmonpsrutwyz]2017 test161226.hash
That "acbedgfihkjmonpsrutwyz" thing being all the characters used in hepburn romanized japanese (so as not to waste time trying letters that will never be used anyway). After trying this in various different orders I did an excessive run of word + three additional hepburn characters + 2017 which took 18 hours to run, didn't find anything.
Currently I'm using the markov chains feature. Used "calc_stat japanese_hepburn4_v2.txt stats" to create the stats file required, then doing "--markov=250:0:0:10 --mask=?w2017". The first number affects the amount of passwords generated (higher number=more passwords) and the last one is the maximum length. This might work better if I had an actual Japanese dictionary but I haven't been able to find one yet and I really can't be asked to write a proper word generator.
Waiting for the scan is probably our best bet but I'll keep trying.
