Just wanted to see how many lines of Python it took me to make a generalized password bruteforce script…

import time

slst = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
slen = (len(slst) - 1)
dwrd = [0]
dlen = 1

numb = 0
last = time.time()
wait = 2

while (1):
	# process password
	i = 0
	s = ""
	while (i < dlen):
		s = (s + slst[dwrd[i]])
		i = (i + 1)
	# print stats
	numb = (numb + 1)
	pres = time.time()
	if ((pres - last) >= wait):
		print("pw=[%s] @ [%d p/s]" % (s, numb / wait))
		numb = 0
		last = pres
	# overflow increase
	dwrd[dlen - 1] = (dwrd[dlen - 1] + 1)
	i = (dlen - 1)
	u = 1
	while (i > -1):
		if (dwrd[i] > slen):
			dwrd[i] = 0
			if ((i - 1) > -1):
				dwrd[i - 1] = (dwrd[i - 1] + 1)
		else:
			u = 0
		i = (i - 1)
	# length expansion
	if (u == 1):
		i = 0
		while (i < dlen):
			dwrd[i] = 0
			i = (i + 1)
		dwrd.append(0)
		dlen = (dlen + 1)
