Wyd is a software that analyzes passwords and provides insights on their strength and vulnerability. It works by profiling password patterns and identifying potential areas of weakness.
The Wyd project is a powerful password profiler that is designed to help IT security professionals get access to password-protected files and services. With the proliferation of password-protected files and data, it has become necessary to have tools that can help crack passwords in a secure and efficient manner.
One of the key benefits of using Wyd is its ability to generate a wordlist of possible passwords and passphrases based on the available information about a target person or system. This is especially useful in instances where the default wordlist does not contain a valid password, or during a forensic crime investigation where a password-protected file must be opened without knowing the password.
Wyd does not just use the 'strings' command to extract printable characters from all types of files. Instead, it personalizes and profiles the available data about a target to generate a more effective list of possible passwords and passphrases.
To achieve this, Wyd eliminates as much false-positives as possible by excluding as much unusable data as possible. This helps to ensure that the generated wordlist is accurate and effective.
Supported file types include plain, html, partially supported php, doc, pdf, mp3, ppt, jpeg, odt, ods and odp.
In the latest release, new plugins have been added for JPEG and ODT, and a '-n' switch has been added to disable module-abort checks. Additionally, a bug in the HTML module has been fixed, ensuring accurate word extraction. Overall, Wyd is a powerful tool that is essential for any IT security professional dealing with password-protected files and data.
