hcstatgen not making 32.1MB files

[Hash-IT]

I think I have found the problem !

Its this... Unicode

Code:

•f

Its not showing up on the forum like it does in notepad. I have tried to attach it as a .txt, .7z and a gif but I keep getting forum errors messages ...

Please correct the following errors before continuing:

The file upload failed. Please choose a valid file and try again. Error details: There was a problem moving the uploaded file to its destination.

If you place that character as a line in your password list it will stop hcstatgen.

If this is right then I wonder if people have not been getting the best from hcstatgen up until now ? I guess no one else noticed it was finishing quickly when it hit one of these characters. This would mean they would have been using incomplete statistics as hcstatgen wasn't checking beyond the point it ran into this.

I guess there will be an improvement in this attacks results if we all remake our stats files when it can read or at least ignore this character ?
