  • A new HTML/email parsing engine that has a much more thorough algorithm for data analysis. Some advantages of the new engine:
  • Faster processing of plain HTML files;
  • Better detection of text encoding;
  • Much deeper processing of email attachments. For example, if the program finds an attachment as a ZIP file, it unpacks the content of the archive, enumerates the files, and extracts words from every file to put them into a general wordlist (to
  • be used later for password guessing).
  • The HTML/email parsing engine is made for generating miscellaneous dictionaries. All it does is extracts user email correspondence, words from recently used files, typed-in queries in browser search, and so on. This dictionary is used then in AI attacks, creating other dictionaries, etc.
