You're right JTR does DES really well. DES type encryption is the encryption that UNIX uses for it's password files.
according to the JTR docs
JTR supports (and autodetects) the following ciphertext formats: standard and double-length DES-based, BSDI's extended DES-based, FreeBSD's (and not only) MD5-based, and OpenBSD's Blowfish-based.
With just one extra command (required to extract the passwords), John can crack AFS passwords and WinNT LM hashes.
