I have an understanding problem. I use Hashcat 3.10 to crack completely unknown passwords. I use most a brute force attack with ?a?a?axxxxx-mask. So far so good. With standard ASCII characters this works well.
But what if someone will add a German umlaut? For example, I have a German password from 4 characters. I start brute-force attack ONLY with standard symbols and ?a?a?a?a-mask:
hashcat64.exe -a 3 -m 2811 --session=1,2 -p : -o "C:\Users\Passwort\Desktop\test.txt" --outfile-format=3 --potfile-disable -w 2 --gpu-temp-abort=90 --gpu-temp-retain=70 -d 1,2 -i --increment-min=4 --increment-max=4 "C:\Users\Passwort\Desktop\hash.txt" ?a?a?a?a
Note the number of combinations: 81450625
This is all right and understandable. Now I want to add the standard character set German umlauts.
I go to the directory "Charsets" and select "standard->German->de_cp1252.hcchr".
Now I have the command:
hashcat64.exe -a 3 -m 2811 --session=1,2 -p : -o "C:\Users\Passwort\Desktop\test.txt" --outfile-format=3 --potfile-disable -w 2 --gpu-temp-abort=90 --gpu-temp-retain=70 -d 1,2 -i --increment-min=4 --increment-max=4 -1 C:\Users\Passwort\Desktop\hashcat-3.10\hashcat-3.10\charsets\standard\German\de_cp1252.hcchr "C:\Users\Passwort\Desktop\hash.txt" ?a?a?a?a
But ... Hashcat shows me the same number of searched combinations: 81450625.
But that can not be. It still 7 Adicional signs come but said: üöäÜÖÄß.

What am I doing wrong? How can I make Hashcat take into account umlauts?
I have already read this thread, but nothing understood. Sorry, my English is very bad (but German und Russian are good).
Basically I have the same problem. I assume that my users use a win-1252 encoding (german Windows) with umlauts for their passwords.
