Shell Programming and Scripting

Hy there!

Some time ago I encrypted the harddrive of my notebook.
Now, I can't remember it correctly.

I want to create a list with all possible combinations of the words I used (I still remember all the words....).


The password was created like this:

The.Peanutbutter.Tastes.goodbanana

But maybe like this:

the.peanutbutter.tastes.Goodbanana

or:

the peanutbutter Tastes Good banana

or:

ThePeanutbutterTastesGoodBanana




How could this be done in a small script to create this wordlist?



regards

For sur there may be some more elegant answer but until you get one ...

Code:

awk 'BEGIN{
split(" .",a,z)
split("tT",b,z)
split("pP",c,z)
split("gG",d,z)
split("bB",e,z)
for (j=0;j++<3;)
for (l=0;l++<3;)
for (m=0;m++<3;)
for (n=0;n++<3;)
for (i in b)
for (k in c)
for (o in b)
for (p in d)
for (q in e)
print b[i] "he" a[j] c[k] "eanutbutter" a[l] b[o] "astes" a[m] d[p] "ood" a[n] e[q] "anana"
}'

By the way this will generate a list of 3*3*3*3*2*2*2*2*2=2592 possible passwd... note that i assumed that the "eanutbutter" sequence remains unchanged otherwise you have to adapt the code...

I also assumed that the separator could either be dot space or nothing and that each separators are independant from eachother, if not, you can reduce the number of possibilities, depending the rules you use. (I just based those assumptions on the example you provided).
