   PASS-PARSE V1.2 by MidNyte[UC], July 1999.
   ==========================================


   Pass-parse  will take  any file  and turn  all
the  words into  a standard  type password  list,
whilst    stripping     anything    that's    not
alphanumeric.  The main idea  behind it was  that
if  you're trying  to crack  the  password  of  a
personal  website,  sometimes  the  password will
appear  on the  site when  the  person  describes
their interests.  This will parse through an html
file and create a list of words from that page to
try as  passwords.  It's a better  place to start
than just plain guessing.  It can also be used to
make a list from a story that someone likes, or a
something along those lines.

   Pass-parse reads in  the input file  1 kb at a
time, so  will handle  any size file as an input.
It will  also ignore  an  apostrophe  completely,
which  helps to  keep words  like  "don't" in one
piece, without the offending apostrophe.

   To use  Pass-parse,  simply copy  the file you
want  to  use  to  'ppin.txt'  and  run 'pp.com'.
Pass-parse  will  create a file  called ppout.txt
which you can then use 'as-is' with most password
checkers.   As  there  are  a  hundred  different
duplicate   removers  out  there,  that  function
has  not  been  included  in  Pass-Parse.  It  is
recommended that this is done first.
