Cyrillic Character Encoding
#1
Hello,

how does oclhashcatplus handle the cyrllic character encoding?

At first, I am running oclhashcat-plus on Windows 7 Platform using MS DOS Console. As I understand, MS DOS does not have support for this character encoding.

So, I run oclhashcat-plus to crack MD5 hashes against a dictionary consisting of Russian words (present in Cyrillic Script). The dictionary file (*.txt extension) is UTF-8 encoded.

oclhashcat-plus cracks a couple of hashes however on the console, I see junk characters instead of the actual password. So, this traces back to MS-DOS Console not having support for Cyrillic.

How do I handle such a situation on windows?

Correct me if I am wrong, but rxvt console for Cygwin has support for this character encoding. So, I guess, I will have to install Cygwin and use this console.

Thanks.
