String generation, how did you avoid previous outputs?
#1
With string generation such as markov chains + masks you're able to optimize the generation to more likely results first while still exhausting the keyspace. I get how to iteratively exhaust the keyspace through traditional brute force but when you're effectively starting with random permutations in that keyspace instead of iterating through it, how do you ensure that you're not generating those again during the process?

Simple example, 0-9, you generate 5, then 3 and so on, how would the generator know not to generate 5 or 3 again? It wouldn't make sense to just generate random values and check if they've already been used as that becomes very hit/miss the greater the keyspace as it narrows down,  such as last value in a billion.
