Character case |
Checks case combinations of the input word. |
Password, PassworD, PaSsWoRd |
Maximal (Strong) level of the mutation group DOES NOT generate all possible case combinations of input words. To check all possible case variants, consider using Hybrid dictionary recovery (aN rule). |

Adds digits to the beginning or to the end of the word. |
password99, 2Password, PASSWORD3 |
Maximal level adds 2 digits. |

Almost the same as previous one, but appends or prepends words, abbreviations, characters, keyboard combinations, etc. |
#Password#, password12345, 4everPASSWORD, Passwordqwerty |
|

Creates different combinations using leet language. |
p@ssword, P@$$w0rd, P@$$W0RD |

Abbreviation |
Converts several character combinations (if the initial word contains any) into abbreviations. |
ihateyou -> ih8you, Ih8u |
|

Revers, duplicates the word, etc. |
drowssap, passwordpassword, PasswordDrowssap |

|
Delimiters |
Separates characters with delimiters. |
p.a.s.s.w.o.r.d, P-a-s-s-w-o-r-d |
Maximal level uses 10 delimiters. |
Dates |
Adds dates to the end of the word. |
Password2010, password1980 |
Even though the mutation engine can generate more complicated variations (for example, password03171998 or Password19710830), this feature if turned off here even in maximal mutation level. |
Oem convertion |
Converts English word into another language and vice-versa using alternative keyboard layout (second language of the OS). It is recommended to set it off always for WPA password recovery. |
If your OS has 2 languages installed (let it be English and Russian), the program will convert initial word password into Russian зфыыцщкв, and Russian пароль will be converted into gfhjkm. |
The program works correctly for 2 or even more languages. So if you have 5 languages installed locally (including English one), there will be 4 different combinations of the input word. |
Word shift |
Shifts all characters of the word to the right or to the left. |
asswordp, dpasswor |
|
Character substitution |
Replaces a character of the initial word. |
oassword, passqord |
This is quite helpful rule assuming the fact that the characters for substitution are taken from a special table. For example, the character 's' will be replaced with the following ones: 'a', 'w', 'e', 'd', 'x', 'z'. You can notice that all of these characters are located near 's' on any qwerty keyboard. |
Length truncate |
Truncates word length to probe all possible length combinations. |
passwor, passwo, passw |
