maskprocessor

Benchmarked as the world's fastest word generator, achieving over 100 million candidates per second on modern hardware like AMD FX-6100, making it ideal for time-sensitive security testing.

Allows per-position character set definition using built-in placeholders (e.g., ?l for lowercase) and up to four custom charsets, enabling highly targeted attacks based on human password patterns.

Leverages common password structures, as shown in the Julia1984 example, to cut keyspace from 62^9 to manageable sizes, reducing cracking time from years to minutes with the same hardware.

The --increment flag automatically generates candidates for varying password lengths, streamlining attacks without manual mask adjustments for each length.
