Hello everyone,

Im new here because I'm looking for help.

First off Im not sure if this is the best place to post this so could a mod move it if not?

Im trying to find an image on a website but the URL to the image has a (seemingly) random string of characters in it.

It's like:

blahblahblah.com/blah/blah/blah/mr223_(16x lowercase letter or number 0-9).jpg

I was wondering if there was a way to write a simple program to go through and check a URL and see if there was anything there to brute force throught this.

I realize brute force will take a while but I dont really have any other options.
