Pass-Phrase Input Dictionary

By -
I could write some elaborate five thousand word post about this, but the following is fairly self explanatory. I created an input dictionary of all the phrases in wikiquotes for use in cracking pass-phrases. You can download it off my tools site here. The final wordlist has around 187k phrases in it. I limited the phrases to a maximum size of 140 characters since anything longer than a twitter quote probably won't be used in real life. On that note, anyone have any good ideas how to spider all the twitter postings?

A couple of things: First of all I only used the primary quotes, not the derivations, since it's fairly hard to automatically parse them out without bringing in a ton of garbage as well. Second, talking about garbage, I'm parsing user generated data so there are still some "artifacts" in the wordlist. Third, I left capitalization and punctuation in the actual quotes. If anyone wants a list with those removed please let me know. Also if you want a list that only contains the first letter of every word, I can do that as well.  Enjoy.

Cracking the MySpace List - First Impressions

Alt Title: An Embarrassment of Riches Backstory: Sometime around 2008, a hacker or disgruntled employee managed to break into MySpace and steal all the usernames, e-mails, and passwords from the social networking site. This included information covering more than 360 million accounts. Who knows what else they stole or did, but for the purposes of this post I'll be focusing only on the account info. For excellent coverage of why the dataset appears to be from 2008 let me refer you to the always superb Troy Hunt's blog post on the subject . Side note, most of my information about this leak also comes from Troy's coverage. This dataset has been floating around the underground crime markets since then, but didn't gain widespread notoriety until May 2016 when an advertisement offering it for sale was posted to the "Real Deal" dark market website. Then on July 1st, 2016, another researcher managed to obtain a copy and then posted a public torrent of then entir

The RockYou 32 Million Password List Top 100

But first, a quick responses to one of the previous comments, (since it really did merit a front-page post). Tfcx posted: The initial vulnerability was posted 29th November on a hacking forum called darkc0de here: http://forum.darkc0de.com/index.php?action=vthread&forum=11&topic=13082 Thanks, as that really helps narrow down the timeframe, (and reading that post and related posts was interesting if a bit depressing). The hack itself appears pretty straightforward once you see it, (like most things once the solution is presented to you it's easy, but finding it in the first place is hard). I'm still interested in the hacker Igigi, and have been tossing about all sorts of theories; but I'll refrain from posting them here since they are all pure WAGs right now. Now on to the main topic: Per Thorsheim wrote: I would like to see a comparison of Twitters 370 banned passwords against the top 370 or so passwords stolen from rockyou (http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/12/27/twi
