Generating passwords about patator

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hey, you are not mistaken, the option you are looking for was not implemented. 
Although I thought about implementing it once, I voted against it as it is not 
patator's job and there are other tools much better for this (john -stdout 
-rules, hashcat maskprocessor, etc.). So, even if you know that the password is 
only 3 characters long, you will have to create a password file with every 3 
chars long passwords.

Unfortunately, patator cannot read from stdin at the moment, and not from fifos 
either because it needs to count the number of lines first and it relies a lot 
on this. I cannot believe I did not think about this feature before and worse, 
it might not be that easy to implement it now that the code is what it is.

But I will have a look into it.

Thx for reporting :)

Patator now supports reading from stdin, time to git pull ! ;)

So, to read from stdin, just pass "-" as a filename. For example:

$ echo -e 'admin\nroot' | ssh_login host=x.x.x.x user=FILE0 password=FILE1 0=- 
1=passwords.txt ...

Cheers
