User Reviews

  • I am trying this program out right now on a Raspberry Pi 3B+ and I see that at any given time it is only using 1 core and not all 4. Will there be any future development with this? We await your response!

  • This is an excellent tool, and the code is sensible enough. Restart functionality is just made for AWS spot instances. Does not multi-thread. Simple enough to extend to accept "start" and "end" keys for splitting work. All sorts of extensions are possible. Some of the key constants could have been in a header file. By default does not start with short length passwords. Could unroll some loops too, but still pretty quick.
  • Very well structured. Command line options were just what I expected. My case was easy because I knew the structure of my password and had just forgotten one part. I built a wordlist and pdfcrack solved my problem in one second.
