Generates password candidates based on a recipe for possible permutations

Password Permutation Generator

Generates and array of possible permutations based on passed arguments

This works well if you kind of know what your password is, but have a certain amount of possible permutations you could've made to it.

Takes a json file, outputs a json file.

Permutations recipe is in the following format, each array in the parent represents a spot in the password. The input of: [["a", "A"],["fu","FU", "fU"],["$", "3"]]

Would produce the following output

[
    "afu$",
    "afu3",
    "aFU$",
    "aFU3",
    "afU$",
    "afU3",
    "Afu$",
    "Afu3",
    "AFU$",
    "AFU3",
    "AfU$",
    "AfU3"
]

This was generated with the following command: node permutate.js --recipe=testPermutations.json --result=testCandidates.json The test files are supplied in this repo.

How to use

git clone npm install node permutate.js --recipe=<path to permutations> --result=<path to result>
