Explain the $HEX?
#1
Hello!

When Hashcat outputs something about $hex, should I be worried? I get it that it doesn't output the characters in the console due to character sets, what about actual matching with passwords or is this only for outputting to console?
I got a lot of Scandinavian characters in a wordlist that contains åäöÅÄÖ, will these still be used for cracking or do I need to use some sort of command? The wordlists are in UTF-8 , I guess it's the correct encoding?
Google is somewhat troublesome when it comes to indexing this forum and I've done a few searches about this here but only found really old threads. Sorry if the question has already been answered.

I'd appreciate some clarification though.


Thank you in advance!
