Which tool generates password lists (wordlists) using custom rules and character sets for brute-force attacks?
- A.B. crunch
- B.A. Wireshark
- C.C. Nmap
- D.D. tcpdump
Why A is correct
crunch generates custom wordlists based on specified character sets, minimum/maximum length, and patterns. Example: 'crunch 8 8 -t @@@@2024' generates 8-character words ending in '2024'. Other wordlist tools: CeWL (crawls websites for words), CUPP (creates targeted lists from personal info). SecLists and RockYou are popular pre-built wordlists.
