hello community.
i recently made a simple password generator
it's really simplistic method.
but how can i measure the security of encryption?

for example, with my generator
assuming personal key is 56789 (but assume you don't know it)
encoded password for autohotkey.com will be p4f655c2 (you don't know it also)
so the informations you have is it

1) you know personal key can be up to 99999 in decimal base
2) you know it generates depend on domain name with some algorithm that you don't know yet

how can you decode it to get the personal key and then finally the encoded password?
i don't know how secure it is (though i know it's unsecure anyhow)
