Constrain number of repeating characters #25

Open kevin-biot opened 6 years ago

kevin-biot commented 6 years ago

Is there a way to contain that the guesses only repeat at most 2-3 a single character?

octomagon commented 6 years ago

There's nothing built in to do this. I haven't gotten much demand for this feature. If you generate the guesses separately into a plain text file, you can run a dictionary attack with it. Unless this was relatively easy to implement, I'd still prioritize a couple other missing features before doing character constraints. (re-impliment distributed attacks) ...It may be better to make the attack types extensible, so people can write their own attack plugin-type-things.

I’m here demanding this feature, anyway I agree that maybe it would be easy enough to generate an ad-hoc dictionary the way you want and use it in your command.
