base64 decode doesn't handle alternative alphabets
#3
I'm sorry for posting hashes--I'll be more careful in the future.

I'm running LDAP and these hashes do indeed work with Netscape (Oracle) directory server. We use either 4- or 8-byte salts. The one I posted was 4-byte which requires no padding, but the 8-byte does (as you correctly pointed out). Since we're not using 20-byte salts as was stated in https://hashcat.net/trac/ticket/78, I think this is something different.

Normally, base64 will use A-Z, a-z, 0-9 and two additional characters since alpha/num only gets you to 62. Those are usually + and /, but can be any other printable. If you use a different two characters, hashcat does not behave correctly.
