I am trying to generate 1-15 toggle rules.

I totally understand this is probably overkill and it defeats the purpose of this “optimised” attack, but I am just playing about with it as a sort of hobby. I only use very small wordlists so I can use these rules in a reasonably short attack time.

I am using these instructions for maskprocessor.


I am using atoms optimisation script.


What seems to be happening is that I generate up to 8 toggles fairly quickly but then things slow down to a crawl, I am talking running it for many days. I suspect it is all to do with the duplicate checking script. I suppose it is quite a task to check for all the possible combinations that could collide, but should it be taking this long ?

Anyone have an idea how I can speed this up or do I have to just leave it running ?

this script was made for the use up to 5 toggles, not more, and it works on there. ofc this can be written much more efficient.

OK ,I see. I am not clever enough to optimise it but I am wondering if I am wasting time waiting for it to complete ?

I don't mind leaving it running if it will eventually finish but if there is no chance it will then I will stop it.

Thanks.

hard to say, but i guess it will start to swap sooner or later.

Well this has run for 9 days and I don't think it is getting any further. Sorry about that. I will take a look at what it has made and share the extra ones made over 5 toggles.

Looking at this code I have no idea how you work all this out atom, you are a genius !!
