CryptoJS.SHA3 does not pass any Keccak test vectors, it is completely broken

I have been testing with the CryptoJS.SHA3 and using the test vectors from 
ShortMsgKAT_512.txt or LongMsgKAT_512.txt I can't get it to match any of the 
test vectors.

I did however get one message to pass a test with the following code:

var words = CryptoJS.enc.Hex.parse(message);
var testResult = CryptoJS.SHA3(words, { outputLength: 512 }).toString();

It passes the first test in LongMsgKAT.txt

var message = 
'724627916C50338643E6996F07877EAFD96BDF01DA7E991D4155B9BE1295EA7D21C9391F4C4A41C

var correctResult = 
'4E987768469F546296AD1A43D54C0A0A6C87E7E4E26B686612B1E5B1554B689BFFD56D6A4B454CE
4A5717625BBAD321F8D05F19C225259646F21416AA2D7C2ED';

var words = CryptoJS.enc.Hex.parse(message.toLowerCase());
var testResult = CryptoJS.SHA3(words, { outputLength: 512 }).toString();

test("Test Keccak", function()
{
   ok(testResult === correctResult.toLowerCase());
});

testResult is 
4e987768469f546296ad1a43d54c0a0a6c87e7e4e26b686612b1e5b1554b689bffd56d6a4b454ce4
a5717625bbad321f8d05f19c225259646f21416aa2d7c2ed

However _all_ the other tests fail. Any idea what is going on?

Can you fix this? I hope you can implement a test suite so these things don't 
happen again. Qunit from the jQuery team is good and simple.

Thanks

I found out the issue. You have to run every 8th test in the test file. This is 
because only every 8th test has the input in full bytes. Only full bytes for 
input appear to be supported. That's ok though. After running quite a few of 
these tests CryptoJS produces the correct hashes for Keccak v3. Great stuff.

In future, perhaps we could put these test vectors into a file and have a unit 
test suite for CryptoJS.

Also if you decide to implement the actual (crippled) SHA3 standard by NIST at 
some stage, perhaps you can leave this code as it is and leave it accessible 
via CryptoJS.Keccak() then implement the finalized SHA3 standard as 
CryptoJS.SHA3(). I know there are more than a few people that don't want to use 
NIST's finalized version with faster performance but weaker security. We would 
rather just use regular Keccak as was at the end of the competition. Let's keep 
it how it is.
