Hi everyone.
I'm not a regular user of hashcat, but i have a problem.
I forgot the password of a rar file i want to use.
I try to find him with a brute-force attack but after a looooong time hashcat failed to do it.
So i test hashcat by using a simple code to a new rar file : µ.
µ is a character used in the classic 256 characters ASCII code. Is number is B5.
I try a brute-force attack on this new rar file ... and hashcat failed again !
after several tries, the only way i found to have hashcat able to find my password is to create a personal wordlist with all letters, numbers, and special characters of my azerty keyboard including µ.
And i was very surprised to see hashcat change my µ into a À with a strange character close to a T before. I don't understand.
If someone can explain me, thanks a lot.
