Program crashes on Big input about advanced-passgen HOT 9 CLOSED

Thanks for reporting this issue. I'll have a look and possibly release a new version if applicable.
It's been a while that this application has received some love, either way!

Thank you for responding, cheers!

This issue is caused by the fact that the program cannot handle a big input, this issue is very common, I am currently trying to fix this as it effects windows 10 specifically (from what i have done with it).

@DanExxed I might rewrite this entire application in a different programming language altogether to get more performance out of it and additionally get rid of the .NET framework.

Something like Rust should do the trick. Do note that the maximum number is limited by CPU architecture and value type. E.g:

int.MaxValue: 2,147,483,647

Currently, the input goes above that because it uses long (max = 0x7FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF). It can be mitigated by setting a max value on the input field:

@CodeDead That is an amazing idea, I hope to see it happen one day.

Something is brewing with React + Tauri (Rust backend):

This is not a Webbrowser (not Firefox, Brave, chrome etc.). This is a native gtk window that uses the system's webview which produces incredibly tiny binaries and the app will run on Linux, Windows and macOS.

Performance footprint:

As you can see, the required system resources are minimal.
