Subject: Re: Cracking Office 2007 files with JtR!

Dhiru,

I added proper Unicode support to the Office format. Please have a look
at how it's done, it's very simple (all you need is in unicode.h).

It's not much tested yet. For any and all future Unicode formats, please
always add FLG_UNICODE. This flag should be added for all formats that
in some way use Unicode, even if there's only simple type-cast support
like what you had in there. After adding full support (as in this patch)
we also add FLG_UTF8, which says the support is "complete".

BTW I also saw that OMP scales very poorly but I don't know why yet.
