About RUBY-WG

Ruby-wg is a opensource scalable and reliable wordlist generator written in Ruby. It uses a JMS broker (stomp interface) to store candidate and result words.

Ruby-wg can be use to generate a wordlist for John the Ripper (http://www.openwall.com/john/) or pyrit (http://code.google.com/p/pyrit/) which is used to crack passwords (it is opensource but you should pay for the wordlist files)

Why is ruby-wg scalable? You can run one or more concurrent "wg.rb run" processes, also from different servers/workstations: in this way the speed will increase with the number of concurrent processes...

Why is ruby-wg reliable? The process "wg.rb run" runs for at most "max_run_iterations": when it stops, you can stop the JMS servers and restart it and "wg.rb run" processes later (also after a restart of the workstation/server) without missing data and without restarting wordlist generation from the beginning...
