Hy @ll,
before I will open a bug report I want to ask if this is a known error.

Try that (same passphrase):
| Code: |
$ /usr/sbin/hashalot sha512 -x
Enter passphrase:

edit:
explanation:

If the -x option is given then the hash will be printed as a string of
hexadecimal digits.

I knew that, too 
But that wasn't my question. I wanted to know why this happens without the "-x" parameter.
I think that the returned string has control characters for the term to set new font or something else.
What is the right answer ???

You're right. I think it may be useful if you want to get a raw string of bytes in your program. It's probably not intended to be used in a shell. Anyway I wouldn't call it a bug. |
