crunch beta testers wanted

[bofh28]

Hi,

I am looking for some volunteers to test crunch 3.0. There is not a whole lot of new features but a lot of bug fixes. The biggest item to note is I had to change the * pattern symbol to a , as bash was getting the * confused.

The biggest fix is the crash that Nazagul reported. The problem was having a / in the filename. crunch will now replace any / in the filename with a space.

The biggest new feature is the -l option which lets you specify what pattern symbol (@,%^) you want crunch to treat as a literal character. Before now crunch would replace the symbol with the appropriate character.

Please let me know if you want to test crunch 3.0.

Thanks,

Love crunch. Amazing tool. Used it for years. My time nowadays is limited, but I do feel I could contribute to testing the new version.
I'm in.

I haven't been ignoring you but private messaging doesn't seem to work for me anymore. If you do a man crunch and go all of the way to the bottom you will find my email address. Send me an email and I will send you the beta.

Thanks,

Sofar all seems to be pretty slick
No errors encountered yet, however as mentioned in email, just some beauty marks on the manpage

With the increased possibilities with the custom patterns using -t switch I feel it may be a
good idea to include written advice on which characters may require escaping and under which
conditions this could/should be done.

I just got pyrit and CUDA working and getting around 180,000/s. Is the beta still available?

EDIT

I have been trying to figure out how to crunch dates.

/crunch 15 15 -t "January %% 19%%" -o /root/dates

but this give me too much unusable output - Any Ideas?
can I add different character sets to each variable somehow?
