passwordgen
A small, probably inefficient, password generator.
Description:
This program will generate all permutations of most plausible passwords. Input is taken in via argv / argc.
Useage:
Each individual digit entered counts for one character. Each digit also correlates to a string of characters. I also recommend taking output to a file to save the generated permutations.
- 2 - "abc..." all lowercase letters
- 3 - "ABC..." all uppercase letters
- 4 - "012..." all numbers
- 5 - "!@#..." all special characters
- 6 - "abcABC!@#" Every character list combined, note this is dangerous and will lead to massive file sizes / long times for outputs.
Examples:
./passwordgen 22222
//Generates all permutations of "abc.." and outputs them.
./passwordgen 666666 > example.txt
//Generates all 6 permutations of every possible character. Builds a fairly good list, but this file will get quite large.
Future Updates:
Because the files are so massive, I'd like to store things into binary files from these permutations. Then write another program that in tandem will push these passwords out at a router or something.
