Hi Dave,
Lepton's Crack can, for sure. I dunno if the version with non-printable
characters is 20040914 or 20040916 (the later is not online, I'm afraid, I
have it on a CD somewhere).
Just had a look at the CHANGES file:
20040914/
- Added support for any ASCII character (ie. also non-printable) in
the charset and regex definition, via \0(octal), \x(hex),
\(decimal)
Do a Google search for
password cracker "non printable" characters
And have fun collating the results.
Cheers,
Miguel

Subject: RE: Password "security" - was"Passwords with Lan Manager (LM) under
Windows" and "Whitespace in passwords"
Regarding "Whitespace in passwords", and as some people already
mentioned, modern password cracking software (both commercial and
free) can find non-printable chars, so space or ALT-whatever are going
to be found anyway. Rainbow tables now tend to include space, but I
still haven't heard of anyone producing a table for 0x00-0xff
(0x0000-0xffff if you use extended unicode chars ;-)
Applications CAN be broken by using strange characters, so YMMV.
Can you provide a list of those that have that ability, I will gladly test
them.
The most popular ones cannot i.e. L0pht, Cain etc. See:
