Most wordlists are encoded using UTF-8, and it has become the de-facto standard encoding for most websites globally. Just because it's the standard for web-facing encoding, doesn't mean that encoding was used when the hash was generated. This post aims to help those trying to crack some of those harder to crack hashes originating from foreign countries.

This is not intended for those new to hashcat. Example hashcat commands only show parameters relevant to the attack method for increased readability.
