- PASS-PARSE V1.2 by MidNyte[UC], July 1999.
- ==========================================
-
-
- Pass-parse will take any file and turn all
- the words into a standard type password list,
- whilst stripping anything that's not
- alphanumeric. The main idea behind it was that
- if you're trying to crack the password of a
- personal website, sometimes the password will
- appear on the site when the person describes
- their interests. This will parse through an html
- file and create a list of words from that page to
- try as passwords. It's a better place to start
- than just plain guessing. It can also be used to
- make a list from a story that someone likes, or a
- something along those lines.
-
- Pass-parse reads in the input file 1 kb at a
- time, so will handle any size file as an input.
- It will also ignore an apostrophe completely,
- which helps to keep words like "don't" in one
- piece, without the offending apostrophe.
-
- To use Pass-parse, simply copy the file you
- want to use to 'ppin.txt' and run 'pp.com'.
- Pass-parse will create a file called ppout.txt
- which you can then use 'as-is' with most password
- checkers. As there are a hundred different
- duplicate removers out there, that function
- has not been included in Pass-Parse. It is
- recommended that this is done first.
