Traceback (most recent call last):

    lmhash.encode('hex'), nthash.encode('hex'))
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe9' in
position 5: ordinal not in range(128)

I guess it is because of the "Invité" account and the "é" character.


Thanks for this tools, I think it will be useful.

You should check your system's locale.

Try export LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8.

It solved the problem for me.

Hello,

To solve this problem, I encode the username in UTF-8.
Here is the line to patch: (hashdump.py:230)

print "%s:%d:%s:%s:::" % (get_user_name(user).encode('utf-8'), 
int(user.Name,16),
                            lmhash.encode('hex'), nthash.encode('hex'))
