Subject: Re: Derive stats/rules/masks from a bunch of plains

For John the Ripper, the best automatic rule generator that I'm aware of is
bartavelle's which is available at:

https://github.com/bartavelle/rulesfinder

It doesn't do passphrases though, and it's been a number of years since
it's been updated. Side note, automatically breaking up passphrases is
a really tricky problem unless the person creating them was nice enough to
capitalize each of the words. Part of this is due to poor input
dictionaries. Heck even determining keyboard combos is not exactly
straightforward since you'd be surprised how many real words follow a
partial keyboard walk.

If you are looking for more experimental work, you can check out my pcfg
guess generator at:

https://github.com/lakiw/pcfg_cracker

It's still *very* much in development so unfortunately it doesn't support
longer cracking sessions at this moment. That being said, the training
program breaks down a lot of statistics about the training password set
that you might be able to use. It doesn't currently display them to the
screen so you'll need to dig into the rules directory yourself. If you do
use it please feel free to give me feedback and I apologize in advance for
my horrendously late replies :)
