Narthex (Greek: Νάρθηξ, νάρθηκας) is a modular & minimal dictionary generator for Unix and Unix-like operating system written in C and Shell. It contains autonomous Unix-style programs for the creation of personalized dictionaries that can be used for password recovery & security assessment. The programs make use of Unix text streams for the collaboration with each other, according to the Unix philosophy. It is licensed under the GPL v3.0. Currently under development!

Dependencies
Narthex has no hard dependencies, however there are two building dependencies, GCC and Make, which are both required in order to easily compile and install the binaries, but not to run them.
Install
In order to install, execute the following commands:
$ git clone https://github.com/MichaelDim02/Narthex.git && cd Narthex
$ sudo make install
Usage
For easy use, there is a wizard program, nwiz, that you can use. Just run
$ nwiz
And it will ask you for the target’s information & generate the dictionary for you.
If you want to make full use of Narthex, you can read the manpages of each tool. What they all do, really, is enhance small dictionaries. They are really minimal, and use Unix text streams to read and output data. For example, save a couple keywords into a textfile words.txt in a different line each, and run the following
$ cat words.txt | nhance -f | ncom | nrev | nleet | ninc 1 30 > dictionary.txt
