computer noob needs a script :D

[bespinboy]

alright so i really don't know anything about computer programming (alright, i know maybe a very tiny bit, but thats not the point.) anyway, to prevent from getting the thread moved as a result of posting something in the wrong forum, im posting here. i don't know what kind of script you would use to do this, but i need to find all possible 5-character combinations using numbers
0-9 and letters a-z. here:
0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
i need the script to populate a list of all possible 5-character combinations using these numbers and letters, with the capitals being unique from the lowercase letters. then, it would put the list into a text document (example- output.txt) and then open it, showing me the populated list. i don't know how challenging this would be, or how impossible or whatever. yeah, i know there are like a billion different possibilities, but whatever. any help would be appreciated

Is this to create a dictionary file for a brute force password cracking program by chance?

It's an easy project. Pick a language and start following beginner tutorials. By the time you finish learning simple loops, you should have enough knowledge to implement this.

Assuming you're a Windows user, you may want to consider C# or VB since you can download Microsoft's bloated development environment for free. There should be ample resources available for learning from the basics on each of those languages as well as the dev program.

well it would be a brute force password cracker, but doesn't try every single combination. rather, just the variable that its a five character password. (btw im doing this legally cuz its my own computer)

Bespinboy, while I can relate to your predicament, I think I speak for everyone here when I say... We cannot assist you with this project simply because it would be unethical. We have no way of confirming your usage of the script/program that would be created/provided... I would do what tomws has recommended...

i understand.its okay though, because im understanding VB quite easily, since i've done some html pages. ill try and write it and see what comes out. would i have to write out ALL 62 variables? example-


dim num0
dim num1
dim num2

etc.

Not to mention that even if your reasons are ethical, someone else who wanted to use it immorally could read this thread and use the same advice. So we can't give very specific advice.

No, you wouldn't want to do it that way. You should read up on using arrays.

No, you wouldn't want to do it that way. You should read up on using arrays.
Or take advantage of a language that allows ASCII character mathematics; although using arrays will probably be easier, esp. for a beginner.

Anyway, if it's a Windows password, there are utilities out there for getting into the OS without hacking and gives you admin rights. I forget the name of the program now, but I used to use it for an IT job I held a few years ago. You just pop in the CD, start up Windows, and you're in.

Not to mention quite a few hacks that do not involve brute forcing the system... I have used one quite frequently myself that involves service injection... Quite nifty if your in a pinch... :)
