Andrew,
In attempting to help Bob Stia in the 'password problem' thread, I came
across this macro:
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/ooomacros/files/PasswordCracker/Version%201.0/>
Interesting. I am familiar with the author. He has provided much advice
to the community.
This works *if* you have the *exact* password in the password file.
Unfortunately it doesn't take regex etc., so it's only useful if the
exact password is in the dictionary/password file. Is there any way to
modify the macro so that it will try variations?
yes
Example:
Password is 'test'.
- try 't' and combinations of 't' for length 4.
similar to pdfcrack.
Would probably require some work to write it as you desire. For a one
shot deal, however, it might be just as easy to simply generate a text
file created in a spreadsheet.
Otherwise, you would want to remove the file I/O related commands such as:
Opening the file:
iFile = FreeFile ()
open sDicFile for input as iFile
** Rather than opening a file, you would initialize your test password
with something.
Closing the file:
close #iFile
Reading the file:
Line Input #iFile, sPass
**** Rather than reading the file, you simply need to automatically
choose the next password based on the current password. At one time, I
wrote a checker that would check based on some assumed characters. I
posted the code on the OOo forum.
