Found passwords post-processing
#1
Hello everyone,

with all those recent leaks I was wondering if there is an efficient way to post-process passwords. For example we all know that the following strings come from the same word:
Code:
Pa$$word
password123
123password123
Password!!

Which steps we can use to reduce the previous passwords to the good old password? I was thinking about stripping leading/trailing digits and special chars, then lowercase it and replace any leet speech.
Do you have any improvement to suggest?
Do you think that it could be an useful post-processing?
Some time ago atom said he was writing an article about this topic, but I never had the chance to read it.
