How would I create a program that can Take input from a player for example the letters 'A','B' and 'C'.

(I take it that this has to be the 'INPUT' command )

And Generate all the possible out comes. In this case it would be:



Thank for you time and help in advance,

Here's some code that will do what you want:



Watch out though ...

1 letter = 1 combination (1^1)
2 letters = 4 combinations (2^2)
3 letters = 27 combinations (3^3)
4 letters = 256 combinations (4^4)
5 letters = 3125 combinations (5^5)

8 letters will be 16777216 different combinations.
The number of combinations can get very high very fast.

Well he isn't going to get very far with this brute force method of cracking passwords if that's the case.

52 letter (uppercase and lowercase)
10 numbers
34 symbols (generally available on the standard keyboard)

Thats a total of 96 symbols to use for a password of unknown length.

For a 6 character password (standard unix minimum), thats up to 667474778880 combinations to check.

If you exclude the symbols (leaving 62 possible characters) there are still 44261653680 combinations (I use mixed case and numbers).

Its a dictionary creation tool

I already have a buch of programmes to put in the bundle I just wanted to make something myself to add to it. Lets see here is what I got:

SubSeven
NetBus
BackOrifice
Visual Route
Archpr
Brutus
Ping Plotter
TJ Ping
WinMTR
Network Stumbler
CmosPwd
CrackAmiBios
Password (C)alculator
BIOS 3.20
Ultimate Zip Cracker
Archive Password Recovery
Raptor
RemDupes
DCM


I just wanted to make something simple to add to it. And include it all (somehow into a game).

"Well he isn't going to get very far with this brute force method of cracking passwords if that's the case."

I dont know if thats just a friendly remark or a snobbish comment, please excuse me if I interpritated it wrongly. But still this is my justification .

No snobbery intended

It's just that brute-force methods are a little underpowered for password cracking ... as you can see from the numbers I've calculated.
