Subject: Re: Should I see special characters in status updates?

Thanks Magnum and Eric!

I tried the following:

*john -stdout -inc:ascii | findstr #*

and the response was that john.rec was locked.

If anyone has a quick fix for this, I'd love to try to get this to work. If
not, I'll probably try to install a VirtualBox VM
<https://builtin.com/data-science/linux-vm> with Ubuntu.

P.S. - I'm on day 25. I'm getting 170p/s (and all the other metrics). I'm
pretty sure I used a special character in the password. Is there a way for
me to estimate how long it'll take for JTR to start trying
special characters?

Is there a way to force it to use them from the start?
