Values for comparison (keyboard walks without "skip"):

grep "asdfgh" rockyou.txt | wc -l
518

grep "qwerty" rockyou.txt | wc -l
1775

grep "qwertz" rockyou.txt | wc -l

As expected the counts are less than with simpler non-skipping walks. It's not nothing, though. I let you guys decide if thats worth further work, or not. I just came up with the idea because i thought i'd use it myself if someone asked/forced me to do a keyboard walk.


Some people seem to be really creative about their skipping tactics. Most of the "funny ideas" i've tried within the last minutes would find at least one match:

grep "1awx3drv" 10-million-combos.txt | wc -l
1

grep "piyrw" 10-million-combos.txt | wc -l

grep "ljgda" 10-million-combos.txt | wc -l

grep "1z2x3c4v5b" 10-million-combos.txt | wc -l
76

Interesting. Thanks! I'd say the numbers are compelling enough to have a solution. Just my opinion.
