wordlistctl lists installable wordlists from SecLists, but lists them by file name (ex: SecLists/Fuzzing/Databases/NoSQL.txt -> NoSQL). Would it be better to list installable wordlists by relative path (ex: Fuzzing/Databases/NoSQL) or file name (ex: NoSQL)?

I saw this passphrase wordlist project popup. Just like to remind folks that passphrase passwords (ex: correcthorsebatterystapler), even with character substitution, can be enumerated and that GPUs will eventually be able to bruteforce the inevitable password dumps from data breaches. In fact a certain someone wrote up a blog post two years ago showing how you could enumerate all permutations of passphrases using Ruby to build your own custom passphrase wordlists; which of course was met with immediate poo-pooing upon.

Does anyone actually use the User-Agent wordlists from SecLists that are grouped by OS/platform? Some of these files only contain a single User-Agent (lol) because apparently LG adds a random string to their UAs. /cc @danielmiessler https://github.com/danielmiessler/SecLists/blob/master/Fuzzing/User-Agents/operating-platform/

SecLists is the security tester's companion. It's a collection of multiple types of lists used during security assessments, collected in one place. List types include usernames, passwords, ...

If a password is manually typed in, it is probably going to be a combination of a few common words, and maybe some random numbers on the end, and maybe a random deliminator character between the words/numbers. For that purpose you can just do a cartesian product of multiple wordlits, a list of numbers/years, and an array of symbol characters. This can be done using the Ruby wordlist library and CLI. Do you suspect they did any "leet speak" character substitutions? Both the wordlist library and CLI supports enumerating over every possible substitution mutation of every generated word.

If a password is generated by a password manager, than all you need to do is pick a character set (usually visible ASCII characters), and generate all strings of a range of lengths. This can be done using using the Ruby chars library (ex: Chars::VISIBLE.strings_of_length(10..14).each { |password| ... }).

I want to know what the purpose/value of the highly-specific wordlist generator template syntax that hashcat/crunch use? Like where is the value in specifying that character 2 is alphabetic, but character 3 is symbolic, and character 4 is numeric? How do you even get that highly-specific information about someone's password, yet don't know the full password? Shoulder surfing? Hidden camera? Trying to decode the keystrokes via the microphone? And why do wordlist builder utils always use a confusing and difficult to remember syntax for their wordlist template format (ex: "@ represents lowercase letters").

Just released wordlist 1.1.0, the Ruby library/CLI for reading, combining, mutating, and building wordlists. It slices, it dices, and it now supports reading and writing zip and 7zip compressed wordlists.
