A Fast Brute-Force Password Cracker

Version: 1.02
Entered-date: 1996-08-19
Description: This password cracker uses a table to speed up the generation of trial-strings. The table can be set with any collating sequence desired. One important feature is the periodic writing of a check-point file that can be used to restart cracking after a crash or system shutdown. I estimate a maximum of 39 years to crack a "good" password on a 100 MHz i486.
