Hi everyone 🙂

I’m starting in Ruby, and first I would like to translate a fonction php  
I made into a ruby one. In php it’s very slow due to the number of  
possibilities, the function is :

\<?php function boom($value) { $toto = "bbc4d9cb08ddbce591c28effcf6a6120005dc477"; $tabbb = array( "a","b","c","d","e","f","g","h","i","j","k","l","m","n","o","p","q","r","s","t","u","v","w","x","y","z"); if(isset($value)){ for($i=0;$i\<=25;$i++){ for($j=0;$j\<=25;$j++){ for($k=0;$k\<=25;$k++){ for($l=0;$l\<=25;$l++){ for($m=0;$m\<=25;$m++){ for($n=0;$n\<=25;$n++){ for($o=0;$o\<=25;$o++){ for($p=0;$p\<=25;$p++){ $pass = $tabbb[$i].$tabbb[$j].$tabbb[$k].$tabbb[$l].$tabbb[$m].$tabbb[$n].$tabbb[$o].$tabbb[$p]; if( (substr\_replace( (sha1( strrev( md5($pass) ) )), "bb", 0, 2))==$toto ){alert($pass);} } } } } } } } } } } ?\>

Any idea? thx

Get PhpUnit, and write unit tests for this function. Start with the  
simplest cases, such as ‘A’.

Then write simple unit tests in Ruby that match each input and output.  
“Grow” your Ruby function, by adding test cases that fail, then  
upgrading your function to pass. With a little perseverance, and a  
book on the Ruby language, you will have a rock-solid and bug-free  
implementation in no time.

Your design might come out the same, or different. Growing your  
function gives you many opportunities, while it is still small, to  
discover alternate patterns. The tests will make refactoring to any  
different pattern very easy.

Hi Avo. How about

def boom  
puts “why not just ask them what their password is”  
end

It’s the pragmatic approach and it stands a greater chance of  
succeeding.

require ‘digest/md5’  
require ‘digest/sha1’

aFile = File.open “length7v.txt”, “r”

aFile.each do |line|  
md5 = Digest::MD5::hexdigest(line.chomp).reverse  
sha1 = “bb” + Digest::SHA1::hexdigest(md5)[2…39]

puts “Testing #{line}”

if sha1 == “bbc4d9cb08ddbce591c28effcf6a6120005dc477”  
puts “Found the pass : #{line}”  
system “pause”  
end

end

easy!!
