>Why do you keep repeating that he "hacked into laptop"? I think there might be some confusion here. I didn't say that. You misquoted me in the other reply as well. We'll see in court if he can prove he did or didn't help. I don't think how well you know the application in question really has anything to do with the viability of the claim. |

My point is that Assange knows what johntheripper is. Any 15-year-old that has downloaded Kali Linux knows what it is. So it seems incredibly strange to act as though breaking a hash is any more complicated than just running johntheripper (or hashcat, or any other brute-force tool) on it.
Assuming their claim is true (that he did actually offer to do it), I would think it most likely he was lying to Manning in order to get them to leak more things. According to most accounts he isn't a particularly nice person, so that seems far more in-character to me.
