# PyMangler

## NOTE: PasswordStretcher is the successor to this, and will probably work better.

###

A wordlist mangler which has the ability to analyze existing lists and generate large quantities of passwords based on patterns found therein.  A fairly methodical approach to password cracking, to be used after traditional methods have failed.




##

How it works:



	
Analyzes wordlist (using liststat.py) to determine patterns such as:

	


		
common simple masks (word-digit, word-special, etc.)

		
common numbers and special characters

		
commonly used words (e.g. P@ssw0rd)

	

	
Calculates total keyspace

	
Generates passwords based on learned patterns

	
Given target crack time, adjusts accordingly by trimming less common attributes






#### Basic usage:

~~~~

# mutate each entry in wordlist with leet characters

# common numbers & special characters are also appended / prepended

cat wordlist | ./pymangler.py --leet

~~~~




#### Advanced usage:

~~~~

# analyze wordlist and save statistics into file

cat rockyou.txt | ./liststat.py -s rockyou_stats

# generate passwords based on the string 'evilcorp' for 36 hours

# starts with simple mutations and becomes more complex as time goes on

echo 'evilcorp' | ./pymangler -l rockyou_stats --time 36

~~~~




#### Caveats:

Memory usage is fairly high for liststat.py - it will grow to roughly 3x the size of the wordlist due to the amount of metadata stored
