	~~My introduction and main experience with~~ John ~~is feeding it wordlists~~ and ~~using~~ it to generate ~~passwords to test~~ from ~~that~~ wordlist.		You can feed John the Ripper a wordlist, and use it to generate a slew of variations on that wordlist, using rules. (For example, from a wordlist containing "password" you can generate the variants "p4ssw0rd", "Password", "password0000", etc.)
