Python - how to generate wordlist from given characters of specific length

Question

I want to perform a dictionary attack and for that I need word lists. How to generate word list from given characters of specific length ( or word length from min length to

Answer 1

This is a naïve implementation:

list='abcdefg'
depth=8

def generate(l,d):
  if d<1:
    return
  for c in l:
    if d==1:
      yield c
    else:
      for k in generate(l,d-1):
        yield c+k

for d in range(1,depth):
  for c in generate(list,d):
    print c

I don't have enough reputation to comment yet, so, to make a full list based on the itertools sample above:

import itertools
chrs='abc'
n=6
for i in range(1,n):
  for xs in itertools.product(chrs, repeat=i):
    print ''.join(xs)

This way, you have all words from length 1 up to n in your list.
