Password List

by **-Ninjex-** on Tue Jan 01, 2013 2:10 pm ([msg=71937]see Password List[/msg])

Hello, guys/girls!

I know this isn't much, but I collected a password list of 17,140 passwords.
I also know there is a lot of password lists with tons more, but adding 17k passwords to that file is always nice, so for the list, go:

It is on a anonymous paste site!

Enjoy,
Ninjex

thanks!

A password list is only as interesting as the post-mortem it came from. :roll:

I meant what I said earlier. A password list without context isn't much better than a random char dump. i.e., no "meta".

LOL

I dont understand is this supposed to be a sloghtly better but less reliable alternative to brute forcing or something?

This is for a form of brute forcing attack called a dictionary attack. You use a password list (your dictionary) instead of consecutive strings to guess the passwords. Good for when you can attack hundreds of accounts at once, a good password list will crack a fair percentage of the accounts (anywhere from 25% to 70%).
