Hi everyone,
I had some time today to fetch the torrent from a torrent
enabled-machine but the link to the blog entry is down, could anyone provide
the torrent link?

Thank you,
Nicolas.

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)
