Subject: Re: International Charactersets
This raises an interesting point for the future of password crackers
like john. (I only use john on passwords for my own system, so I
don't really have a lot of experience with it.) Since the characters
in every language get stored as bytes in a file, shouldn't john just
work on cracking hashes that are byte strings? My point is that when
you use several dictionaries (say English, Russian and French) you
will find many words look different when typed on the respective key
boards, but actually have the same byte string as a computer
representation.
