Why couldn't this simple md5 hash be found by hashcat?
Maybe something important is missing. Thank you.

Code:
echo -n "óóóó" | md5sum

/usr/local/src/hashcat/charsets/standard/Hungarian/hu_cp1250.hcchr file contains: ÁÉÍÓÕÖÚÛÜáéíóõöúûü

Code:
hashcat -m 0 -a 3 '0380d849d5eea725653c91b8c01818c4' -1 /usr/local/src/hashcat/charsets/standard/Hungarian/hu_cp1250.hcchr ?1?1?1?1

Result: Not found.

in short: encoding

the CP1250 file is not using utf8 encoding, because UTF-8 encoding is just a different encoding and CP1250 again a different encoding !

you could just create a hcchr file with utf8 encoding, or use something like this (https://hashcat.net/forum/thread-7656-po...l#pid41140) :

Code:
hashcat -a 3 --stdout -1 /usr/local/src/hashcat/charsets/standard/Hungarian/hu_cp1250.hcchr ?1?1?1?1 | hashcat 0380d849d5eea725653c91b8c01818c4 --encoding-from cp1250 --encoding-to utf8

btw: note that óóóó in UTF8 is actually 8 bytes long
$HEX[c3b3c3b3c3b3c3b3] i.e. 4 times 0xc3b3

Thank you for the quick support.
