CLI tool for finding passwords similar to a given one in any password dataset.

Desktopfree

passwordsim is a command-line tool for finding passwords similar to a specified password within any password dataset, using Damerau-Levenshtein distance as the similarity metric. It's used to check whether a chosen password is a close variant of a known common or previously leaked password, or to generate password guesses against large datasets like SecLists. It runs on Linux and recommends a fast multicore CPU with substantial RAM for larger, multi-gigabyte datasets.
