Subject: try all small character sets (too few different characters)

Hi,

The attached external mode, called Subsets, will generate candidate
passwords from many small subsets of characters from a much larger full
character set.  This will test for passwords containing too few
different characters.

When applied to the contest NTLM hashes with its default settings
(lengths 1 to 8, up to 3 different characters), it cracks 25 passwords
in under 6 minutes (on one modern CPU core).  That's not too exciting:
many times more are crackable in the same amount of time with other
attacks, and many of the 25 would be quickly cracked with other attacks
too.  However, a few of them would be more difficult to crack by other
means.  When re-configured for lengths 9 to 10 (still up to 3 different
characters), it cracks 16 passwords in 48 minutes.  The first one of
these 16 is cracked in 1 second, and all of them look like they could be
more difficult to crack by other means.  Going to 4 different characters
would result in more cracks, but the attack duration would increase a
lot (yet this may be worth a try).

First test run, lengths 1 to 8:
