The command you provided is using the "crunch" tool, which generates wordlists with various combinations of characters. Let's break down the command:

  1. crunch: This is the command to execute the "crunch" tool.

  2. ${5} ${5}: These are the parameters that specify the minimum and maximum length of the generated words. In this case, it is using the value 5, which means the generated words will have a length of exactly 5 characters.

  3. ${abcde123}: This is a character set that defines the characters to be used in the generated words. In this case, it includes lowercase letters 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', and 'e', as well as the digits '1', '2', and '3'. The tool will generate combinations of these characters to create the wordlist.

  4. -t ${@@@12}: This option specifies the pattern for the generated words. Here, @ represents any character from the specified character set, and 12 means that the first two characters should be numbers.

  5. -d 2@: This option instructs the tool to remove any duplicates from the generated wordlist. 2@ means that only duplicates with at least two occurrences will be removed.

Overall, this command will generate a wordlist containing words with a length of 5 characters, using the specified character set, pattern, and removing duplicates.
