Mentalist is a graphical Python tool for generating custom password wordlists based on common human password-construction patterns. It can export full wordlists as well as mutation rules compatible with Hashcat and John the Ripper.
Use cases
- generate custom wordlists for password cracking
- create hashcat rules from human password patterns
- build targeted password dictionaries for penetration tests
- generate john the ripper rule files
- model common password construction habits into candidate lists
When to choose
- you need a GUI-driven wordlist generator tailored to human password habits
- you want output rules for Hashcat or John the Ripper instead of raw lists
- you are doing authorized password auditing during a penetration test
When to avoid
- you need a headless or CLI-only wordlist generator
- you want general-purpose dictionary attacks rather than wordlist generation
- you cannot install Python 3.11+ with tkinter
