Can a hashed password be recovered if the hashing is done with [DES based crypt](http://php.net/manual/en/function.crypt.php) function in PHP and both the hash and salt are known by the attacker?

Consider the following example:

```
$salt = 'mysalt';
$pass = 'mypass';
$hashed_pass = crypt($pass, $salt);
// $hashed_pass = myDUAMR/WMo7.

```

I know that John the Ripper can break this, however it's not going to return the password, but instead it will return a string that can be used to create the same hash value. Can the real password be recovered in the given scenario?
