Hi penguinkeeper, I do not think it is about acceptance. I am content that /r/n and /n do not cause issues in almost all programs. But they do cause issues in some programs. Tools like shasum, md5sum, and openssl include them in their operations which results in a different hash for what humans see as the same word. I was under the impression that hashcat did as well. My testing yesterday and today suggest otherwise.
If /r is there and hashcat is not including it when hashing the word then hashcat is "stripping" it (or some word that has the equivalent end result). How would you describe it if /r is part of the line but not considered by hashcat when hashing the word?
