brute

Simple brute forcing in Python.

Purpose

Brute forcing passwords, and other things often requires a bit of hacking to get working properly.

This library makes generating all possible permutations of strings really easy -- and is very customizable.

You can then brute force whatever you want, however you want >:)

Installation

Installing brute is easy with pip. Just go to the terminal and run:

$ pip install brute

You can also upgrade your existing installation by running:

$ pip install -U brute

Usage

Using brute is super easy -- seriously.

Let's say you want to iterate through every possible permutation of strings that contain:

• All letters (upper and lowercase),
• All numbers (01234...),
• All symbols (!#$...),

All you have to do is:

from brute import brute

for s in brute():
    print s

Bam!

Let's say you want to also include space characters in your string (' ', '\t', etc...) -- you can do this too!

from brute import brute

for s in brute(spaces=True):
    print s

You can customize the max length of the strings generated as well. By default, brute will only run through 3 characters:

from brute import brute

for s in brute(length=10)
    print s

And, lastly, if for some reason you only want to iterate through letters, numbers, or whatever, you can do that as well!

from brute import brute

# Iterate over *only* numbers (0 - 9).
for s in brute(length=5, letters=False, numbers=True, symbols=False):
    print s
