Targinator combines a wordlist with your hints in every possible way. Ideal for highly targeted attacks. This tool has been semi-public for a while, being shared around in the community after being requested by Flagg. For the last few months I've slowly been working on this project in my free time to make it open source and public with some modifications and improvements.
This tool functions as a semi-infinite combinator with wordlists and some extra options.

Now inbetween each word you can place a single word from a dictionary. That means for n words you get n+1 possible candidates where a word is inserted in.
This is done with the parameters after the target dictionary which specify wordlists or directories. For example with a Target dictionary of:
MyPassword
2006
1997
SuperPassword
Super
Password
Running the following command:
.\targinator.exe -m 1 -x 5 .\target.txt .\hashmob.net_2025-06-15.micro.found <dict2> <folder>
Which helps combine passwords to a new format of:

A few years ago Flagg came with an idea. He wanted to take a set of hints or 'targets' and combine them infinitely together. This inspired a tool originally called PermutationFlagg. It would take words like "James" "Bond" "2006" and make combinations such as:
- JamesBond
- BondJames
- James2006BondJames
- Bond2006JamesBond
- 2006JamesBondJamesBond
And so on until the end of time. This tool was named Valdicomb by Flagg though retained the original name PermutationFlagg in the folder structure so the included 7z is that same folder for the original project. Now I release this tool in his memory hoping that others will see his idea and find good use for it. Rest well Flagg, we miss you.
