I would like to know how many passwords I need to create a wordlist, the permutations before create the wordlist. For example if I want to create a wordlist from 1 to 9 there are 9 passwords, very easy, but if i need create a wordlist with all the permutations about aaaaa to zzzzz.

Are there any tool or script?

    If the list contains every combination, then whats the point of it?

  • A generic tool to generate a wordlist is crunch.

    If this is for password or hash cracking, you don't need to create a wordlist of every possible combination - that's what a brute force attack is, and all of the common tools out there already do this without needing a file, you just need to pass the character set and length. The whole point of a dictionary/wordlist attack is to avoid the slow times of brute force attacks by using a dictionary of likely passwords, because a given user's password is much more likely to be "password123" than it is to be "aabbb".

  • Remember that a decent password can take thousands of years to brute force if the password is not in any way likely

With bash, ksh, zsh:

printf '%s\n' {a..z}{a..z}{a..z}{a..z}{a..z}
aaaaa
aaaab
aaaac
aaaad
aaaae
aaaaf
aaaag
aaaah
aaaai
aaaaj
[...]
zzzzz

Take care, this is a kind of stress test for your distro... CPU/RAM consuming...
