crunch:tldr:898cc
This command uses the "crunch" tool, a wordlist generator, to generate a list of all possible combinations of characters within a specified range and saves the generated list into a specified output file.
Here is what each part of the command does:
-
crunch
is the command to execute the "crunch" tool. -
${1}
and${5}
represent the range of characters for generating the combinations.${1}
denotes the minimum length of the words, while${5}
represents the maximum length. -
-o ${START}
specifies the file where the generated wordlist will be saved. "${START}" is the path/name of the output file. -
-e ${abcde}
specifies the character set to be used for generating the combinations.${abcde}
represents a set of characters to be included in the wordlist. -
-i
is an option that tells crunch to include any words it has already generated, which can result in larger wordlists.
Overall, this command generates a wordlist containing all possible combinations of characters within the specified range, uses the character set "abcde", saves the generated list into the file specified by ${START}
, and includes any words it has already generated.
