Openwall wordlists collection

The homepage URL for this wordlists collection is:

http://www.openwall.com/wordlists/

This wordlists collection is a result of processing many hundreds of public domain wordlist files from multiple sources and in a variety of file formats. Most files were rejected for being duplicates or for poor quality, but a few hundred remained and went into the combined wordlists you will find here.

The wordlists are intended primarily for use with password crackers such as John the Ripper and with password recovery utilities.

Included in this collection are wordlists for 20+ human languages and lists of common passwords. The included languages are: Afrikaans, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Latin, Norwegian, Polish, Russian, Spanish, Swahili, Swedish, Turkish, and Yiddish. There's also a list of the common passwords and unique words for all the languages combined in one file (over 40 MB for almost 4 million entries).

Included only on the CD and not available in the downloadable version of the collection is a huge list of all the common passwords and words from all the languages with word mangling rules applied (to form other likely passwords, such as by adding capitalization or digits to words) and any duplicates purged. This wordlist is provided as a single uncompressed text file usable directly off the CD. Its size is almost 500 MB and it has over 40 million entries.

For all wordlists, the entries are sorted either alphabetically or for more common to less common passwords/words/languages with alphabetical order within each section (for about equally common passwords or words, or for individual languages). There're no duplicates.

It is our policy to replace defective products at no additional charge to you. If you don't receive the CD that was mailed to you, another CD may be sent to the same address at no additional cost, up to two months after the original shipping date.

Five good reasons to purchase the CD:

The wordlists on the CD, except for those found under the included ftp.openwall.com mirror, are uncompressed DOS/Windows format text files (lines are terminated with CR-LF pairs). They are directly usable with most password crackers and password recovery utilities on both Unix and Windows systems. Please note that John the Ripper is smart enough to correctly process (uncompressed) text files even if they use linefeed conventions that don't match those of the host OS.

Alternatively, the reduced downloadable version of the collection is available under /pub/wordlists from the FTP mirrors.

The downloadable wordlist files are in Unix text format (lines terminated by single LF characters) and compressed with gzip. If you intend to use the wordlists on Windows and not Unix, you may get them converted to DOS/Windows format text files (lines terminated with CR-LF pairs) when decompressing. With gzip, that is achieved with the -a (or --ascii) command line option.
