Pipoca 🍿

Pipoca is a (veeeery simple 😄 ) tool to generate string values, to use in my hashcat/aircrack tests.

It's written in pure C, I used this language to brush up my c skills (good times with pos with 8bit architecture...) because nowdays I mostly use C# and Javascript in my projects.

I was inspired by Crunch, but I needed a tool to generate few string values to get a smaller result (or file size).

Common use

A file with 100.000.000 records of 24 chars random string => time: ~55s on old macOS High Sierra and 8GB

./pipoca -r 100000000 -c 24 -o chaos.txt

With Docker 🐳

docker run -v /tmp:/tmp --rm lewixlabs/pipoca -r100000000 -c24 -o /tmp/chaos.txt

Features

pipoca [options] -r <number_of_rows> -c <number_of_chars>

Optional params:

-o <file_to_write>: save rows to a file (overwrite mode)

-a <file_to_write>: save rows to a file (append mode)

-n : numbers only (default is alphanumeric)

-l : lowercase chars only

Credits

Pipoca is name given by my wife to popcorns; popcorns remember me this kind of chaos (generating random words).

I think it's a portuguese word, strange, mine is an Italian family 😄.
