Analyse passwords list
#1
Hello,

I was wondering how to analyse a file 'test.txt' (containing passwords in plain text) to get results like: characters which occur most frequently and on which spot (character position distribution, character frequency distribution)?

Can somebody help me, please? Thanks!

Regards

I've already tried this application, yes, but I don't know how to get more 'advanced' results like: character position distribution, character frequency distribution?

There is so called 'markov chain functionality'? Where do I get it or how can I use it? Thanks.

Regards

If pack doesnt do it, then you can try grep.

But it should go with PACK having previously mentioned functionality... Anyone already tried that?

Ok, but it gives only top 10 (I need all) and I don't see results like: frequency of 'a, b, c,..., 1, 2, 3, special characters' on '1st spot, 2nd spot, 3rd spot,...' ? Can this be done by passpal-master?

On the wiki page at the bottom of the example output. Isn't this what you're looking for? And for your other issue read the help and have a look at --top

edit: I see. I don't think I know of any program that can produce statistics per position.

Ok, for --top:
after --top I just write the number of 'Total words' that I have. Thanks.

ULM has some analyses (http://unifiedlm.com).

There is another analyzer out there called "Pipal".

There are also tools linguists use.
