4.0-rc3

Slowly figuring out how to tag releases properly

4.0-rc1

There is a known issue with restoring sessions if the --skip_brute option was used, but otherwise this is getting real close to being ready for release.

4.0 alpha

This is the first alpha view of the Version 4.0 rewrite.

TLDR: This will allow you to preview some of the features of version 4.0 and it will support training new grammars and creating guesses for use in password cracking sessions. It's still incomplete and a lot of work remains to get the official version 4.0 release finalized.

Word of Caution: I don't plan on providing backwards compatibility support for grammars trained using this release. You will likely have to retrain a new ruleset once the official version 4.0 is released.

This release includes:

1. OMEN integration for Markov based brute force guesses
2. Multiword detection during training. So words like awesomefeature123 can be broken up into 'awesome' 'feature' '123'
3. Lots of minor changes to improve the accuracy of the training program
4. The password_scorer.py program which can be used to evaluate password lists against a previously trained pcfg ruleset

Future features (Why this isn't an official release yet)

1. Needs documentation and testing
2. No memory management for the priority queue yet
3. The "Status Report" during cracking sessions is currently just a placeholder
4. Would like to add support for additional guess generation modes
5. Need to finish adding l33t sp33k detection to the training program
