About:
Regldg is a specialized tool that generates dictionary files for use with regular expression engines. It allows developers to create comprehensive word lists based on specific grammatical rules, which can then be used to test or break regex patterns. This is invaluable for security professionals and developers needing to validate complex regex logic against exhaustive inputs.
Key Features:
  • Generates dictionary files based on regex grammar
  • Supports custom character sets and repetition rules
  • Outputs compatible with standard regex testing tools
  • Command-line interface for automation
  • Helps identify regex vulnerabilities
Use Cases:
  • Security auditing of regex patterns
  • Generating test data for regex validation
  • Creating wordlists for password cracking simulations
  • Learning regex behavior with concrete examples
Alternatives:
  • crunch – Crunch generates wordlists based on character sets, while regldg generates based on regex grammar patterns
  • regex101 – Regex101 is a visual debugger, while regldg generates actual dictionary data for testing
