bruteforge

A selective data combinator.

How does it works

Parses a custom configuration file
Uses parsed data combining all possibilities, just like a bruteforce algorithm does
Write to STDOUT, according to output mode

  bruteforge, a selective data combinator.
  -----------
  
  -c  pass a valid config file
  -l  set word lenght (default = max possible)
  -x  use HEX mode    (default = CHAR)

  Output:
  -b  binary output
  -w  print out wordlist
  -q  quiet run

Config file

It's a simple text file, containing single charsets that will be used, one per line.
Order fixes sorting, other than select composing data single values.
You can use one file for single task to store composing data, then use to generate plaintext wordlist or hexadecimal binary as well as (hashes) wordlist, or raw binary data (check test folder for examples).
File character encoding is relevant, since bruteforge works on single byte value, it can support 256 characters, defaulting to codepage ISO-8859-1.
Use -c config_file to read your data from config_file.

Characters or hex values

Use -x to parse and use data as hexadecimal values.

Word length

Use -l to lock word length.

Output mode

Output modes are mutually exclusive, you can select just one from:

write wordlist with -w
write binary data with -b
test your configuration running in quiet mode with -q, you can dump at any time by sending USR1 signal

Examples

parse config, using extended ascii codes
$ ./bf -c test/test_4.ISO-8859-1
parse config, using hexadecimal values
$ ./bf -c test/test_3 -x
write wordlist to STDOUT, or test hex mode with quiet output
$ ./bf -c test/test_4.ISO-8859-1 -w
$ ./bf -c test/test_3 -x -q
hex mode, lock on 3 characters length, write wordlist, save to file
$ ./bf -c test/test_3 -x -l 3 -w > file
hex mode, lock on 2 characters length, write raw data, save to file, verify

$ ./bf -c test/test_3 -x -l 2 -b > file.bin  
$ hexdump -C file.bin
