+# swsf_bruteforce
+
+A performant, multithreaded, brute-forcer for scrambled cheat codes in Star Wars: Starfighter (JP) and Star Wars: Jedi Starfighter, written in modern C++20.
+
+# Building
+
+You need:
+
+- A C++20 compiler (MSVC 2022, Clang, GCC)
+- Boost (I tested with 1.81, should work fine with 1.82 onwards)
+- CMake
+
+## Windows
+
+```
+cmake -Bbuild -GNinja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
+cmake --build build
+```
+
+## Linux
+
+```
+$ cmake -Bbuild -GNinja -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=clang -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang++ -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-march=native -mtune=native"
+$ cmake --build build
+`
+
+# Usage
+
+`./swsf_bruteforce -s [START_LENGTH] -l [LENGTH] -e 0xABCDABCD`
+
+where:
+
+`-s [START_LENGTH]` is the guessed start bound (greater than 2, less than end bound)
+`-l [LENGTH]` is the guessed end bound (less than or equal to 8)
+`0xABCDABCD` is the hash to use
+
