chronogen 1.0.1

Generate customizable date wordlists.

Chronogen

Chronogen creates date-based wordlists that can be used for penetration testing, QA fixtures, or any workflow that needs exhaustive date coverage. The project now ships as a Python package with a modern command line interface and documentation.

Features

• Symbolic format templates (YYYYMMDD, YYMMDD, MM, MMDD, etc.)
• Optional custom strftime patterns
• Prefix, suffix, casing, and separator controls
• Month/day filtering, leap-day aware
• Reverse chronological generation for targeting the latest dates first
• CLI, python -m chronogen, or importable library
