Re-hydrates password lists that contain counts. Also contains a utility that will do the opposite and dehydrate a raw password dump into a file of counts (frequencies) against passwords.
Some password lists that can be found online are formatted like this:
75 password1
56 abc123
29 monkey1
28 iloveyou1
24 myspace1
18 number1
18 football1
17 nicole1
17 123456
16 iloveyou2
16 123abc
15 princess1
15 bubbles1
15 blink182
15 babygirl1
...
This utility "expands" or "rehydrates" these password list back into their full form. For instance:
3 password
2 hunter
3 nicole
Would become:
password
password
password
hunter
hunter
nicole
nicole
nicole
Use the utility like this:
.\CountExpander.exe <in_file> [unique_only]
The options are quite straightforward:
| Option | Values | Required? | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| in_file | Any | Yes | The dehydrated password file. |
| unique_only | Flag (-u) |
No | Whether or not to output unique passwords only, defaults to off. |
The compressor utility is used in the same way. It will take raw, newline-delimited password list as a file and spit out a file which contains frequencies against passwords. Use it thusly:
.\CountExpander.Compressor.exe <in_file>
The options are quite straightforward:
| Option | Values | Required? | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| in_file | Any | Yes | The raw password file. |
