[Feature Request] Support for user defined character size #1965

Open fstqwq opened 5 years ago

Some of East Asian Ideographs, like Chinese, has some subset of so-called "Frequently Used Characters". When I want to use such subset to crack passwords, however, the charset was splitted in single 8bit chars.

So I wonder if there could be a feature like "--charsize" to change the length of one character for some user defined charsets. For example, "--charsize 3" for East Asian Ideographs.

Please explain with a simple example and some hex dumps. Did you see the update from true conversion from UTF8 to UTF16?
