Windows Password Recovery - wordlist analysis and statistics

Wordlist analyzer gathers and shows the following statistics:




Common information:

• Dictionary name
• Size in bytes
• File type
• Last modified date and time
• Whether or not alphabetically sorted (the check takes place only if the file is sorted ascending)

Word statistics:

• Total words
• Non-English words
• Multi-word phrases, i.e. words separated with space
• Bytes per word, less word delimiter. Shows average wordlist compression ratio.
• Bits per character. Shows real wordlist compression ratio. For example, in UNICODE the bits per character value tends to 16 (not counting word delimiter), in regular ASCII wordlists - to 8. In certain compressed PCD wordlists one letter can be coded by less than 1 bit (see the screenshot).
• Word statistics - how many words consist of 1, 2, 3, etc. characters.

Character frequency analysis (if the respective option is set):

• Indicates how frequently a certain character appears in a wordlist
