The fan finally whirred to a stop as the sun peeked over the horizon. After cracking an entire night, my tired laptop had given up. Wiping the sleep from my eyes, I noted that 0 hashes were cracked. I was frustrated because I knew some details about the password behind the hash, but I could not find a simple solution that would allow me to generate a targeted word list by modifying an existing generic list with the extra details. Thus, Distend was born.

If you have a good word list, and you have some extra details surrounding the password in question such as

• Date of birth
• Mother's maiden name
• Pet names
• Age
• Address
• Other important dates
• Favorite words
• Business specific terms
• Favorite foods
• Catch phrases
• etc

then Distend is for you. It can even implement common leet speak substitutions as well!
