****************** permuT by kravietZ v1.0, 06.95 ****************** Permut is simple tool generating permutations (variations, in fact) of desired length, of specified set of characters. It accepts following settings: permut -k - standard character set [a-z] & space, permutations k characters long permut -k -n - n chosen of one of the following standard settings (below), k sets length of permutation Character set: n= -------------- -- [a-z] + space 27 + [A-Z] 53 + [0-9] 63 all printable ascii 96 For bigger sets it pretty slow, even on strong machines.. ;( Permut was primarily designed to work with Cracker Jack by Jackal (Denmark), a MS-DOS based unix password cracker. CJ is library-type cracker, but it fortunately accepts option -stdin. Use following commands to feed Jack with all possible 3-character passwords, built of [a-z] characters only (and space): permut.exe -k 3 | jack.exe -P:test.pwd -stdin Note, that this pipe will not work continuously. First, permut hos to mess the permutations, then it sends them to jack. Seems to work correctly, anyway.. kravietZ Bugs etc. : kravietz@pipeta.chemia.pk.edu.pl Latest ver.: fsp://149.156.137.250:21/util/hackutil
