mudge: Golang port of Munge by Th3S3cr3tAg3nt

This program is a word munging tool that mutates words based on different levels of complexity. It provides functionalities to transform words using basic, advanced, and expert level mutations. The mutated words are then sorted and duplicates are removed, resulting in a list of unique and sorted mutated words.

Munge was rewrote in go because John Hammond (rightfully) felt cringe to run the python2 version of the script.

Features:

Basic Level Mutations: Swapping case (lowercase to uppercase and vice versa) and title case variations.
Advanced Level Mutations: Leetspeak transformations and appending commonly used numbers.
Expert Level Mutations: Combining advanced level mutations with additional numbers and postfixes.
Input Options: Mutate a single word or read words from an input file.
Output Options: Write mutated words to an output file or print them to the console.

Examples:

Mutate a Single Word:

$ munge -word "example" -level 2 -output "output.txt"

Mutate Words from an Input File:

$ munge -input "input.txt" -level 3 -output "output.txt"

Print Mutated Words to Console:

$ munge -input "input.txt" -level 1
