The gathering of username and password lists has gone well so far and I found
out about another great archive of such files here:

However, a proper sorting of all these has to take place. Soon.

As you're probably aware, I've done quite some work sorting, rejecting,
and merging wordlists a few years ago:

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

Typical reasons for a rejection were a wordlist file being a duplicate
or a wordlist file meant to be language-specific containing too many
words from other languages (detected with a script).

The resulting wordlists all start with comments giving the original file
names that I ended up merging.  For example,
languages/English/3-large/lower.gz starts with:

#!comment: Pre-processed input wordlist files:
#!comment: 10001fr.equ   74550com.mon    famous         pocket-dic
#!comment: 10002fr.equ   Antworth        freja.diku.dk  sf

#!comment: 6213acro.nym  engwords.txt    ospd           wordset_4k

languages/English/4-extra/lower.gz adds:

#!comment: Pre-processed input wordlist files:
#!comment: english.maybe  length09.txt  length18.txt  length27.txt
#!comment: english.trash  length10.txt  length19.txt  length28.txt

#!comment: length08.txt   length17.txt  length26.txt  org.names

Obviously, most of these wordlists are too large to be used with Ncrack.
I'd recommend just password.lst from here:

http://cvsweb.openwall.com/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/Owl/packages/john/john/run/

maybe with systems' default passwords added.  Please note that this
revision of password.lst (bundled with John the Ripper) is currently
slightly newer than one found in the wordlists collection.

Alexander, do we have your permission to use these lists as part of Ncrack's
lists (that are going to shipped with Ncrack)? This applies to having them as
separate lists as well as having some of the passwords in a greater mix of other
passwords. In either case, please inform us about any requirements to include
any license header or anything similar.


Alexander

Thanks,
ithilgore
