Ron, awesome work. I got my copy via torrent, and now I'm seeding at about 700K/sec@ O_o I can't wait for folks to start digging into this dataset (myself included) to see what we can come up with. - L On 7/27/10 8:22 AM, Ron wrote:
Hey everybody, I spent some time recently spidering Facebook to get every person's name who has an account and is searchable. I released the data from phase 1 of that project today, and thought I'd share: http://www.skullsecurity.org/blog/?p=887 Besides shameless self promotion (which I enjoy more than I can say ;) ), this can be exceptionally helpful if you're going into a bruteforce against a company blind, and you have some way of finding out their username convention. I pre-calculated first initial/last name, first name/last initial, and first name dot last name. I included the raw data so you can process it yourself. If you want the raw data (and even if you don't ;) ), grab the .torrent from the blogpost and let it download that way. Nobody I know had enough bandwidth to serve hundreds of megabytes worth of files. Let me know what you think! Phase 2 of my collection is going to start after Defcon is over and I'm safely back home. Hope to see you all there! (Defcon, I mean, not my home)
