Subject: how to parse passwords with some known letters

Hallo,

I'm working on passwords which have been generated with "pwgen" (8  
characters, 1 BIG letter, at least 1 number).
I restore them from the slapcat output (single sign on) via LM and NTLM  
(works fine).

I've seen that about 10% of the restored passwords end with "oo" (7 or 8  
characters), and about 30% contain somewhere "oo".

Can I tell "John" at least the case that many passwords may end with  
"oo"?

I've studied

but (sorry) I didn't understand how to make rules for this case.

Viele Gruesse!
Helmut
