This is a command-line tool written in Python that applies one or more transmutation rules to a given password or a list of passwords read from one or more files. The tool can be used to generate transformed passwords for security testing or research purposes. Also, while you doing pentesting it will be very useful tool for you to brute force the passwords!!

Proof of Brute Forcing Passwords by using the transmuted passwords on PassMute

How Passmute can also help to secure our passwords more?

PassMute can help to generate strong and complex passwords by applying different transformation rules to the input password. However, password security also depends on other factors such as the length of the password, randomness, and avoiding common phrases or patterns.

The transformation rules include:

reverse: reverses the password string

uppercase: converts the password to uppercase letters

lowercase: converts the password to lowercase letters

swapcase: swaps the case of each letter in the password

capitalize: capitalizes the first letter of the password

leet: replaces some letters in the password with their leet equivalents

strip: removes all whitespace characters from the password

The tool can also write the transformed passwords to an output file and run the transformation process in parallel using multiple threads.

Installation

git clone https://HITH-Hackerinthehouse/PassMute.git

cd PassMute

chmod +x PassMute.py

Usage To use the tool, you need to have Python 3 installed on your system. Then, you can run the tool from the command line using the following options:

python PassMute.py [-h] [-f FILE [FILE ...]] -r RULES [RULES ...] [-v] [-p PASSWORD] [-o OUTPUT] [-t THREAD_TIMEOUT] [--max-threads MAX_THREADS]

Here's a brief explanation of the available options:

-h or --help: shows the help message and exits

-f (FILE) [FILE ...], --file (FILE) [FILE ...]: one or more files to read passwords from

-r (RULES) [RULES ...] or --rules (RULES) [RULES ...]: one or more transformation rules to apply

-v or --verbose: prints verbose output for each password transformation

-p (PASSWORD) or --password (PASSWORD): transforms a single password

-o (OUTPUT) or --output (OUTPUT): output file to save the transformed passwords

-t (THREAD_TIMEOUT) or --thread-timeout (THREAD_TIMEOUT): timeout for threads to complete (in seconds)

--max-threads (MAX_THREADS): maximum number of threads to run simultaneously (default: 10)

NOTE: If you are getting any error regarding argparse module then simply install the module by following command: pip install argparse

Examples

Here are some example commands those read passwords from a file, applies two transformation rules, and saves the transformed passwords to an output file:

Single Password transmutation: python PassMute.py -p HITHHack3r -r leet reverse swapcase -v -t 50

Multiple Password transmutation: python PassMute.py -f testwordlists.txt -r leet reverse -v -t 100 -o testupdatelists.txt

Here Verbose and Thread are recommended to use in case you're transmutating big files and also it depends upon your microprocessor as well, it's not required every time to use threads and verbose mode.
