pwlistgen - written in python

pwlistgen is a password list generator for numerical passwords, with a length of your choice.

Requirements

The only thing you need is to install the latest version of Python (and of course pwlistgen.py) on your PC, in order to execute the code. This works on all operating systems, so head over to https://www.python.org/download and install Python for your OS of choice.

To check if Python is already installed, type:

py --version

If Python does respond, consider that you've installed the latest version (see https://www.python.org/download#content). If it doesn't respond, you have to install it first.

Preparation

Since the installation of Python is done, open your cmd and refer to the path (starting from your home directory) where pwlistgen.py is located:

cd thePath/pwlistgen/isLocated

Or in my case:

cd Desktop/pwfolder

Executing

Now that you are in the folder where you've installed pwlistgen, type:

py pwlistgen.py > yourFileName.xy

Or in my case:

py pwlistgen.py > pwlist.txt

Or if want to save it in a different (already existing) path:

py pwlistgen.py > ../github/pwlist.txt

Generate

Last but not least type in the length of your password, hit enter, wait and it will create a password list for the entered length in the path/file you specified.

PS: I don't recommend entering a larger number than 10 – except you know exacly what you're doing – since the 8-characters password list is already 1 GB large and does take some time to create.

PPS: If py doesn't work in your cmd try to type in python instead.
