Help with special character rule

[hashnewb]

I'm pretty sure that is some problem with your specific rule file (malformed, corrupted).


just try it yourself... open a text editor, insert the dollar symbol and the closing bracket, store it and try this rule file.

It works as expected.

I guess that there is some special character within your rule file, maybe not a "normal byte", but a wide-char, utf16 character etc etc etc...
the char after the rule must be a single byte... if you want to add 2 bytes, you need to add both individually, e.g.

For instance if you really want to add this utf8 character that uses multi-bytes ❳ (in hex 0xe29db3)
my.rule

Code:

$\xe2 $\x9d $\xb3

Code:

echo -n test | hashcat --stdout -r my.rule
test❳

Thank you so much for your help, your a genious.

One of my rules was
d u ${

It was a tab inbetween them instead of a space, and some of them had spaces on the end
