Help with 7Z Hash

[philsmd]

Do you use powershell? or just cmd (without powershell)?

I noticed that for some reasons the default output format for powershell is utf16le (not ascii). Even if 7z2hashcat only outputs ascii the out-file command (which is responsible to write the output within powershell) converts it to the default output format (which in my case was utf16le with powershell).

Maybe something like this helps in powershell

Code:

7z2hashcat64-1.2.exe file.7z | out-file -encoding ascii temphash

Again, this is not a problem with 7z2hashcat, it is just the powershell that rewrites the correct ascii output to utf16le (default encoding under powershell?)

update: it seems that you can set the default encoding of the out-file command also with an environment variable like this:

Code:

$PSDefaultParameterValues['Out-File:Encoding'] = "ascii"
