Hi list, today we i like to announce that we have now released our new funny tool "wyd". It is a tool for password profiling. The general idea is to personalize or profile the available data about a "target" person or system and generate a wordlist of possible passwords/passphrases out of available informations. Instead of just using the command 'strings' to extract all the printable characters out of all type of files, we wanted to eliminate as much false-positives as possible. The goal was to exlude as much "unusable" data as possible to get an effective list of possible passwords/passphrases. It is very effective to get reasonable passwords from websites or filesystems. You can get details and download here: http://www.remote-exploit.org/index.php/Wyd There are two examples / use cases in the docs directory. Check example-usage.txt on details. It is very modular and simple to extend, we would be happy if someone would send us plugin modules for more filetypes. Have a nice day Max ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This List Sponsored by: Cenzic Need to secure your web apps? Cenzic Hailstorm finds vulnerabilities fast.
