Let's prove them wrong! This project includes a massive wordlist of phrases (over 20 million) and two hashcat rule files for GPU-based cracking. The rules will create over 1,000 permutations of each phase. To use this project, you need: - The wordlist passphrases.txt , which you can find under releases. - Both hashcat rules here. WORDLIST LAST UPDATED : July 2025 Usage Generally, you will use with hashcat's -a 0 mode which takes a wordlist and allows rule files. It is important to use the rule files in the correct order, as rule #1 mostly handles capital letters and spaces, and rule #2 deals with permutations. Here is an example for NTLMv2 hashes: If you use the -O option, watch out for what the maximum password length is set to - it may be too short. Sources Used Some sources are pulled from a static dataset, like a Kaggle upload. Others I generate myself using various scripts and APIs. I might one day automate that via CI, but for now you can see how I update the dynamic sources here. source file name source type description --- --- --- wiktionary-$(date).txt dynamic Article titles scraped from Wiktionary's index dump here. wikipedia-$(date).txt dynamic Article titles scraped from the Wikipedia pages-articles-multistream-index dump generated 29-Sept-2021 here. urban-dictionary-$(date).txt dynamic Urban Dictionary dataset pulled using this script. know-your-meme-$(date).txt dynamic Meme titles from KnownYou","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/initstring","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/initstring/passphrase-wordlist/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
