Python Brute Force algorithm

Question

I need to generate every possible combination from a given charset to a given range  Like    charset list map str  abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz    range 10   And the out put should be    a b c d                   zzzzzzzzzy zzzzzzzzzz    I know I can do this using already in use libraries But I need to know how they really works If anyone can give me a commented code of this kind of algorithm in Python or any programming language readable I would be very grateful

itertools is ideally suited for this   itertools chain from iterable     join l                                 for l in itertools product charset  repeat i                                 for i in range 1  maxlen   1

If you REALLY want to brute force it  try this  but it will take you a ridiculous amount of time   your list    abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz  complete list      for current in xrange 10       a    i for i in your list      for y in xrange current           a    x i for i in your list for x in a      complete list   complete list a   On a smaller example  where list    ab  and we only go up to 5  this prints the following     a    b    aa    ba    ab    bb    aaa    baa    aba    bba    aab    bab    abb    bbb    aaaa    baaa    abaa    bbaa    aaba    baba    abba    bbba    aaab    baab    abab    bbab    aabb    babb    abbb    bbbb    aaaaa    baaaa    abaaa    bbaaa    aabaa    babaa    abbaa    bbbaa    aaaba   baaba    ababa    bbaba    aabba    babba    abbba    bbbba    aaaab    baaab    abaab    bbaab    aabab    babab    abbab    bbbab    aaabb    baabb    ababb    bbabb    aabbb    babbb    abbbb    bbbbb

Simple solution using the itertools and string modules   modules to easily set characters and iterate over them import itertools  string     character limit so you don t run out of ram maxChar   int input  Character limit for password           file to save output to  so you can look over the output without using so much ram output file   open  insert filepath here    a        this is the part that actually iterates over the valid characters  and stops at the    character limit  x   list map    join  itertools permutations string ascii lowercase  maxChar        writes the output of the above line to a file  output file write str x       saves the output to the file and closes it to preserve ram output file close     I piped the output to a file to save ram  and used the input function so you can set the character limit to something like  quot hiiworld quot   Below is the same script but with a more fluid character set using letters  numbers  symbols  and spaces  import itertools  string  maxChar   int input  Character limit for password      output file   open  insert filepath here    a     x   list map    join  itertools permutations string printable  maxChar    x write str x   x close

I found another very easy way to create dictionaries using itertools   generator itertools combinations with replacement  abcd   4     This will iterate through all combinations of  a   b   c  and  d  and create combinations with a total length of 1 to 4  ie  a b c d aa ab          dddc dddd  generator is an itertool object and you can loop through normally like this   for password in generator             join password    Each password is infact of type tuple and you can work on them as you normally do

Use itertools product  combined with itertools chain to put the various lengths together   from itertools import chain  product def bruteforce charset  maxlength       return     join candidate          for candidate in chain from iterable product charset  repeat i          for i in range 1  maxlength   1      Demonstration    gt  gt  gt  list bruteforce  abcde   2     a    b    c    d    e    aa    ab    ac    ad    ae    ba    bb    bc    bd    be    ca    cb    cc    cd    ce    da    db    dc    dd    de    ea    eb    ec    ed    ee     This will efficiently produce progressively larger words with the input sets  up to length maxlength   Do not attempt to produce an in-memory list of 26 characters up to length 10  instead  iterate over the results produced   for attempt in bruteforce string ascii lowercase  10         match it against your password  or whatever     if matched          break

If you really want a bruteforce algorithm  don t save any big list in the memory of your computer  unless you want a slow algorithm that crashes with a MemoryError   You could try to use itertools product like this    from string import ascii lowercase from itertools import product  charset   ascii lowercase    abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz maxrange   10   def solve password password  maxrange       for i in range maxrange 1           for attempt in product charset  repeat i               if    join attempt     password                  return    join attempt    solved   solve password  solve   maxrange     This worked for me in 2 51 sec   itertools product  iterables  returns the cartesian products of the iterables you entered    i for i in product  bar    42     returns e g     b   42     a   42     r   42    The repeat parameter allows you to make exactly what you asked     i for i in product  abc   repeat 2     Returns     a    a       a    b       a    c       b    a       b    b       b    c       c    a       c    b       c    c      Note   You wanted a brute-force algorithm so I gave it to you  Now  it is a very long method when the password starts to get bigger because it grows exponentially  it took 62 sec to find the word  solved
