So often we hackers face some sort of random string, be it a numeric code, generated token or hash, and wonder how long it would take to brute force. This tool helps you quickly calculate it within a Web UI. Just specify your rate of attempts and the length/character set of the token. This tool will calculate both the number of requests required and an estimated time of completion.
With the 'Collision' mode, it can even calculate when a collision of two random strings should happen (aka. [Birthday Problem](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthday_problem)). These are more functional bugs where two random users may collide, but are much more likely and another reason to increase your token's entropy.

For the quickest usage, simply paste a list of example tokens into the autofocus'ed *Examples* area. The tool will automatically detect the character set and length, giving you the time it would take to brute force, and the ability to adjust settings. State is saved in the address bar, so you can send your URL around to others to share your results.

Most fields explain themselves by giving them a hover or tap. If anything is unclear or you are missing a feature, feel free to ask in an [Issue](https://github.com/JorianWoltjer/brute-force-calculator/issues)!
