Hitherto, searches were limited to numeric searches or dictionary searches. The herein added search does a traditional brute-force search using a currently-hardcoded character-set. The characters in the characterset are a-zA-Z0-9, so passwords like EatMy59Pandas will be covered. The search strategy takes a maximum length and uses four characters as a minimum length.

Looks good, but imo it should be possible to set a lower bound on the password length aswell, since I can think of a few situations where the password has a minimum length off the top of my head

limitedAtonement commented 9 months ago

Totally agree. Just pushed an update with a --min-length flag.
