Brute force, even though it's gotten so fast, is still a long way away from cracking long complex passwords.
Rob Fuller
That's were word lists come in handy. It's usually the crackers first go-to solution, slam a word list against the hash, if that doesn't work, try rainbow tables (if they happen to have the tables for that specific hash type), and then the full on brute force.
Some would say those first two steps are reversed, and it really is the choice of the the person doing it and the word lists they have to work with.
Matt Weir and company created a cool tool that has the best of both worlds, Dictionary based Rainbow Tables with Dr-Crack, which you can find here:
But, back to the reason of this post, word lists. Where do you get them? Here are a couple of my favorite places in no particular order:
I like to keep 3 size word lists:
1. small and fast: usually based on the output of one of the tools i'm about to tell you about
2. medium: this is my custom list that I add passwords I find / crack and generally think are good to add. I'm pretty picky about what goes into this list
3. huge: any wordlist I come across gets added to this list, it gets sorted and uniqued and restored
Now the two tools that I like for the small list is are CeWL and wyd:
They have some very similar lists of features, your mileage may vary. But they basically parse files and web pages for words and generate password lists based on the words found.

I missed one hell of a treasure trove of word lists:
Right now, there list is this:

Password list download below, best word list and most common passwords are super important when it comes to password cracking and recovery, as well as the whole selection of actual leaked password databases you can get from leaks and hacks like Ashley Madison, Sony and more.
Generate your own Password List or Best Word List
There are various powerful tools to help you generate password lists or wordlists for brute forcing based on information gathered such as documents and web pages such as:
– Wyd – password profiling tool
– Crunch – Password Cracking Wordlist Generator – CeWL v5.1 – Password Cracking Custom Word List Generator – RSMangler – Keyword Based Wordlist Generator For Bruteforcing – The Associative Word List Generator (AWLG) – Create Related Wordlists
These are useful resources that can add unique words that you might not have if your generic lists, using a combination of generated lists, most common passwords and leaked password databases you can generate a very powerful selection of passwords for brute force cracking.
Also, add all the company related words you can and if possible use industry-specific word lists (chemical names for a lab, medical terms for a hospital etc).
And always brute force in the native language. There are some language-specific resources below.
Password List Download Best Word Lists
Although old, one of the most complete word list sets is here (easily downloadable by FTP too):
This includes a whole bunch of language specific resources too (Afrikaans, American, Aussie, Chinese, Croatian, Czech, Danish, French, German, Hindi, Japanese, Polish, Russian, Spanish and more).
This is another famous pass list txt which is over 2GB uncompressed, Argon v2:
Here we have 50,000 words, common login/passwords and African words (this used to be a great resource):
Password Dictionary File
One of the most famous lists is still from Openwall (the home of John the Ripper) and now costs money for the full version:
Some good lists here organized by topic including surnames, family names, given names, jargon, hostnames, movie characters etc.
Packetstorm has some good topic-based lists including sciences, religion, music, movies and common lists.
French Spanish & Language Specific Word Lists
There’s a good French word list here with and without accents, also has some other languages including names:
Spanish password list that has 172122 words:
Russian wordlist that has 296790 words:
Swedish password wordlist that contains 24292 words:
Tools for Password List Brute Forcing
You can also check out some default password lists and if you aren’t sure what tools to use I suggest checking out:
Enjoy! And as always if you have any good resources or tools to add – do mention them in the comments.
Beginners learning brute-forcing attacks against WPA handshakes are often let down by the limitations of default wordlists like RockYou based on stolen passwords. The science of brute-forcing goes beyond using these default lists, allowing us to be more efficient by making customized wordlists. Using the Mentalist, we can generate millions of likely passwords based on details about the target.
Password cracking is a long-established art, relying on a combination of brute-force processing power and the ability to refine your list down to likely options based on what you know about a target. Many security protocols are vulnerable to brute-forcing attacks, which at its core relies on a few key principals.
First, you must be allowed to try different passwords many times very quickly. Second, you need to be able to determine the difference between a password success and failure. Third, you need a list of passwords to automatically try very quickly. And finally, the password must be present in the list in order for the attack to succeed. As password lists get bigger, CPU and GPU performance becomes more important as the rate at which passwords can be attempted is sped up.

I bet my password isn't there. That's why I love them so much. These lists have the passwords that nobody ever has. Good list though.

Thank you for the share. This will be useful for something that I am reviewing.

For years, experts have warned about the risks of relying on weak passwords to restrict access to data, and this is still a problem. A rule of thumb for passwords is the longer, the better. In this guide I will use FTP as a target service and will show how to crack passwords in Kali Linux with Hydra.
There are already several login hacker tools available, however none does either support more than one protocol to attack or support parallelized connects. We’ve previously covered password cracking using John the Ripper, Wireshark,NMAP and MiTM.
Hydra can be used and compiled cleanly on Linux, Windows/Cygwin, Solaris, FreeBSD/OpenBSD, QNX (Blackberry 10) and OSX.
Currently THC Hydra tool supports the following protocols:
Asterisk, AFP, Cisco AAA, Cisco auth, Cisco enable, CVS, Firebird, FTP, HTTP-FORM-GET, HTTP-FORM-POST, HTTP-GET, HTTP-HEAD, HTTP-PROXY, HTTPS-FORM-GET, HTTPS-FORM-POST, HTTPS-GET, HTTPS-HEAD, HTTP-Proxy, ICQ, IMAP, IRC, LDAP, MS-SQL, MYSQL, NCP, NNTP, Oracle Listener, Oracle SID, Oracle, PC-Anywhere, PCNFS, POP3, POSTGRES, RDP, Rexec, Rlogin, Rsh, SAP/R3, SIP, SMB, SMTP, SMTP Enum, SNMP v1+v2+v3, SOCKS5, SSH (v1 and v2), SSHKEY, Subversion, Teamspeak (TS2), Telnet, VMware-Auth, VNC and XMPP.
Supported Platforms
Hydra is a parallelized login cracker which supports numerous protocols to attack. It is very fast and flexible, and new modules are easy to add. This tool makes it possible for researchers and security consultants to show how easy it would be to gain unauthorized access to a system remotely. On Ubuntu it can be installed from the synaptic package manager. On Kali Linux, it is per-installed.
For brute forcing Hydra needs a list of passwords. There are lots of password lists available out there. In this example we are going to use the default password list provided with John the Ripper which is another password cracking tool. Other password lists are available online, simply Google it.
The password list s pre-installed on Kali Linux and its password list can be found at the following location
It looks like this
Create a copy of that file to your desktop or any location and remove the comment lines (all the lines above the password 123456). Now our word list of passwords is ready and we are going to use this to brute force an ftp server to try to crack its password.
– Rename that folder to whatever you want and put it wherever you like. Forza horizon 4 pc torrent download. (You HAVE to either rename or move it or both to continue) – If you have problems with that, run this in a cmd and try again: takeown /f “C: Program Files WindowsApps” /r /d y – So this renamed folder is now your “extracted forza 14.2 appx”. AIO UPDATE GUIDE: – your installed 14.2 files are in the C: Program Files WindowsApps Microsoft.OpusPG_1.0.14.2_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe folder.
Here is the simple command with output
Check the line “[21][ftp]”. It mentions the username/password combination that worked for the ftp server. Quite easy!
Now lets take a look at the options. The t option tells how many parallel threads Hydra should create. In this case I used 1 because many routers cannot handle multiple connections and would freeze or hang for a short while. To avoid this its better to do 1 attempt at a time. The next option is “l” which tells the username or login to use. In this case its admin. Next comes the capital “P” option which provides the word list to use. Hydra will pickup each line as a single password and use it.
The “v” option is for verbose and the capital “V” option is for showing every password being tried. Last comes the host/IP address followed by the service to crack.

Attempt to login as the root user (-l root) using a password list (-P /usr/share/wordlists/metasploit/unix_passwords.txt) with 6 threads (-t 6) on the given SSH server (ssh://192.168.1.123):
Brute forcing is the most basic form of password cracking techniques. In works well with devices like routers etc which are mostly configured with their default passwords. However when it comes to other systems, brute forcing will not work unless you are too lucky.
However still brute forcing is a good practice for hackers so you should keep trying all techniques to hack a system. So keep hacking!!
