Having pressed on the link and tried to download the 'John the Ripper' program, my PC Antivirus (NOD32) alarms and reports that the file is a trojan.

Lets hope other unsuspecting people who are not IT literate dont install this program.

Great idea to put a link to a trojan on your website!!!!

Keep up the good word ZDNet. Please ensure you put a warning on the page to alert people and in future CHECK sources are legit.
