generall.c

GENERates ALL possible combinations of
ASCII literals, numerals and signs
to stdout.


Use as password generator.

Examples:

$ ./generall > passwords.txt

$ ./generall > fifo && ./attack $ROUTER fifo


In principle, the self-imposed limits are:

-from ASCII character num 33 to 126 (both included) = 94 characters

Use option -s to include the space character (ASCII 32).

Example:	generall 1 10 	(all words up to 10 characters)
TIME to complete:
-----------------

number of words having      number of non space characters
53861511409489970176        10
  572994802228616704         9
    6095689385410816         8
      64847759419264         7
        689869781056         6
          7339040224         5
            78074896         4
              830584         3
                8836         2
                  94         1

TOTAL:
54440667446151152650 words

(Very optimistically) estimating 1 nanosecond for each to compute:
54440667446 seconds = 1725 years !!!

But the true bottleneck appears later, in processing the results...
