- PASSLIST generator for Brute. v.1.0.0
- -------------------------------------
-
- First of all, I must tell you that if you are looking for an
- enormous program with thousands of options, this is NOT the one you are
- looking for. This program is a very small routine which makes the boring
- and hard job of creating a "passlist.txt" file for your Brute. I didn't
- make it in order to break into any computer, I made it to LEARN about my
- Linux system, so if you use it for hacking don't tell anyone I gave it to
- you for that purpose, ¿ok?. Feel free to distribute this program if you
- think this could help anyone. The only thing I want is to know who is
- using it (this is CARDWARE). Send me an e-mail with any commentaries you
- have (or bugs) and I'll send you new versions of this program (if they
- "see the light" ;-) ).
-
- Using the program.
- ------------------
- As you can see, the program doesn't need too much information
- to work. Once you enter the program it asks to you if you have a fixed
- beginning. What does that mean? Well, it's easy. When you want to enter a
- system and you now the beginning of a password you don't have to create
- all the possible passwords with random beginnings. For example, I want to
- break into my system at home, and I know the root user has as password
- the combination of the word "root" and some other characters following this
- word. So, I don't need to make all the passwords beginning with "a", "b",
- etc... What you have to do then is enter "root" as fixed beginning and
- then enter 3,4, or whatever you want as maximum number of random caracters
- per password. This way you won't lose so much space in your hard disk.
- After that, it asks you the maximum number of random caracters per password.
- I think this is quite clear. I have fixed this value from 1 to 10 because
- when you enter a very big number the file size increases exponetially. For
- example, if you make a file with 3 random caracters per password it would
- occupy 5 Mbytes in your hard disk and even more if you enter a fixed
- beginning, so imagine how much space it would need if you enter 10 as
- random caracters per password. Anyway, if you need more caracters send me
- an e-mail and I'll change it for you. Once you have entered those parameters
- it starts generating the passwords. In my Pentium this can take from 1 second
- to several minutes depending on how many random caracters you want.
-
- Other technical information.
- ----------------------------
- I have fixed the range of possible caracters from 32 to 127 (ASCII).
- If you think another range would be better, only tell me. The file generated
- is in DOS format, not UNIX, this means there are line feeds and carrier
- returns after each password.
