The test suite has 8 bit passwords. It has them in several 'flavors'. It
has 'simple' raw 8 bit passwords. These were created from the original
password file (pw.dic). I simply set high bit on about 2-3% of the
characters.
This is run 'normally'. Also, if a format handles encoding, it is run with
-enc:utf8. When this 'garbage' is run as utf8 mode, it will only find
'some' of the candidates (a large percentage). However, it is the exact same
number for each hash (except Cash2, which uses fewer passwords).
However, the test suite DOES test for these type PW's. It is how the bug in
BF was found.
Jim.
