Dictionary encoding: UTF8 or Win-1252 for German?
#1
Hello everyone,

I have a question. I have a German dictionary with UTF8 encoding without signature (all characters and numbers that appear on a German keyboard including €). Which dictionary encoding is optimal for Hashcat? UTF8 or Win-1252?

Can Hashcat use UTF8-dictionaries well? In some russian forums people write, that it is better to always store the dictionaries in Win-1252 / ISO8859-1. Is that correct?

Regards,

Takeshi
