I am trying to find a way to crack a 12-digit lower case alphanumeric password (that might take less than 10 years). I was thinking that I could build 12-digit numeric word-lists and use the overwrite rule to add letters to numeric word-lists. The majority of the password consists of numbers. A numbered word-list would also take up less hard-drive space.

Is this possible and can anyone point me in the right direction for more information on creating rules?

## rule: Overwrite characters in a wordlist with lowercase letters
## limits: password equal 12 chars in length
## letters used one time each and not repeated
## letters not placed next to each other (separated by at least one number)
## no more than 2-5 letters used at a time per 12-digit password

## example: 642394959797 ---> 6423949h9s97

#change each char to the letter "a" one by one
o0a
o1a
o2a
o3a
o4a
o5a
o6a
o7a
o8a
o9a
oAa
oBa

#change each char to the letter "b" one by one
o0b
o1b
o2b...

PS I tried to bruit-force with a custom character-set. It was impractical as far as the amount of time it would take to crack.

I'd suggest using PACK and set min digits to 10 or whatever count of numbers are known

Hi atom! Thank you for the suggestion. I found out that PACK from https://thesprawl.org (multiple programs) is already installed in Kalil! I ran the 2 passwords that I have through the below processes.

It looks like if I would like to use the rules I now need to place them into a *.rule file. Correct? It also looks like I will need to create a custom wordlist of 12-digit alphanumeric passwords to run the rules on, is that also Correct? So the dream of applying rules to the smaller numeric only wordlist is not really a possibility?

I ran:
