I have finished up the first version of pwlib.java. It was created in Java 1.4, because I haven’t bothered to update Java in ages. I should be revising it for 1.6 soon enough, but this is something to get you going. I haven’t done a whole lot of testing on it just yet, so feel free to post any bugs you may find.

Currently it only supports hashing for md5 and SHA1, but that will change later on. Right now I’m just trying to get the code base out in all four languages. Next up will be python. Enjoy.

pwlib.java (Java 1.4)

After creating customized password cracking apps for some time, I have finally grown tired of using different alogirthms with no real flexability in them so I have decided to create a library to do this for me. Since I work in a few languages, I will be building these in: Java, C++, Python, and PHP.

The library itself will be a collection of functions used to generate passwords and hashes to be used in cracking or brute forcing. For passwords the library will provide functionality for using dictionary files and generating brute force lists of minimum length n to maximum length m for ASCII x through y. The hashes will include md5 and sha1 built in and I plan to allow custom algorithms to be built for it as a plugin or passed in function, however; that is still in the planing stages.

As soon as I set it up, I will make daily builds available and post that link under this sub-category along with updates. Comments and suggestions are appreciated.
