adding possible combinations of characters, ngrams, from the &#x27;organisms&#x27; file and checking them against a leaked password list, apparently tested on the &#x27;rock_you&#x27; list of leaked myspace passwords, which is ommitted from the repo but the repo has a standin empty file where you put your own list of leaked passwords<p>it will genetically run through all ngrams and check if it is in the pass list to determine how to advance the evolution of the algorithm<p>does this crack passwords genetically? well, yes and sorta<p>it&#x27;s a proof of concept against an existing list of real leaked passwords, proving that it could efficiently crack a number of these real passwords real people were using to protect real personal data<p>but from there you have to extrapolate the effectiveness on all possible passwords..<p>if you train against the myspace list then the passwords would have to resemble myspace passwords<p>can you train the algo on the myspace list then try to crack nuclear codes?  very unlikely, unless government officials are protecting their access with passes like &#x27;WARMACHINEROX&#x27;
