In John Hammond’s most recent video on password cracking, he showcased the use of a munging tool to create different variations of passwords.

Curious about the tool, I examined its source code and discovered that it was outdated, having been written six years ago, and was not optimized for efficiency. Additionally, it relied on Python 2, which is no longer the preferred version.

I decided to develop an improved and faster version of the tool using Python 3. After a few experimentations and adjustments, I successfully created the enhanced version.

The new version performs approximately 1.3 times faster than the original tool and generates twice as many password variations. If anyone is interested, you can find the updated tool on my GitHub repository
