Psudohash – Password List Generator That Focuses On Keywords Mutated By Commonly Used Password Creation Patterns

psudohash is a password list

The script includes a basic character substitution schema. You can add/modify character substitution patterns by editing the source and following the data structure logic presented below (default):

transformations = [
	{'a' : '@'},
	{'b' : '8'},
	{'e' : '3'},
	{'g' : ['9', '6']},
	{'i' : ['1', '!']},
	{'o' : '0'},
	{'s' : ['$', '5']},
	{'t' : '7'}
]

Individuals

When it comes to people, i think we all have (more or less) set passwords using a mutation of one or more words that mean something to us e.g., our name or wife/kid/pet/band names, sticking the year we were born at the end or maybe a super secure padding like “!@#”. Well, guess what?

Installation

No special requirements. Just clone the repo and make the script executable:

git clone https://github.com/t3l3machus/psudohash
cd ./psudohash
chmod +x psudohash.py

Usage

./psudohash.py [-h] -w WORDS [-an LEVEL] [-nl LIMIT] [-y YEARS] [-ap VALUES] [-cpb] [-cpa] [-cpo] [-o FILENAME] [-q]

The help dialog [ -h, –help ] includes usage details and examples.

Usage Tips

1. Combining options --years and --append-numbering with a --numbering-limit ≥ last two digits of any year input, will most likely produce duplicate words because of the mutation patterns implemented by the tool.
2. If you add custom padding values and/or modify the predefined common padding values in the source code, in combination with multiple optional parameters, there is a small chance of duplicate words occurring. psudohash includes word filtering controls but for speed’s sake, those are limited.

Future

I’m gathering information regarding commonly used password creation patterns to enhance the tool’s capabilities.
