Brief Introduction to `werdlists` ✂️

This project is a collection of word lists--they are mostly whitespace-delimited or line-based. Although the passes-dicts folder contains inputs for password cracking, overall the files amassed here are intended to be useful in facilitating the creation of insecure program state (with the help of a black-box fuzzer or scanning tool.) The vast majority of files are simply ASCII with the UNIX style newline.

Inspiration Taken from Similar Projects 💭

fuzzdb and SecLists (maintained by my colleague at IOActive Daniel Miessler, then werdlists is quite similar in mission as it's a centralized attack strings and input data resource. However, it has its own unique style, organization, original hand-crafted contents, verification/management scripts, expanded concepts, etc. It also has an organized list of tools that links to the folder containing the datasets each one can be used with.

Repository Directory Hierarchy and Structure 🔩

The scripts folder consists of shell scripts used for repository maintenance. All scripts use bash syntax and some data files were generated with a script. The tools folder lists security tools that the datasets contained in this repository can be provided as input for. In fact, there is a link provided adjacent to each tool name which references the folder storing datasets that would be most effective with that particular tool. Folder names are detailed in the Folder Names and Description of Contents section below. All files in each dataset directory are detailed in the local README.md file for that folder (as opposed to the global README.md in the root directory being read now.)

Naming Scheme, Syntax and Meaning 💬

Most files have the *.txt extension signifying the text/plain MIME type ans asc bin c conf cpp csv html inf ini json md rpz rst sh txt xml yaml yml zip zone Other file extensions in use are: *.asc, *.csv, *.xml, *.html, and *.yml Often used formats besides plain text include: Comma-Separated Values (text/csv), Extended Markup Language (application/xml), Hyper Text Markup Language (application/html), etc. Any file that is larger than 1MB uncompressed will be compressed with xz according to the commands in the scripts/compress-large-files bash script. File extensions in use are: *.ans, *.asc, *.bin, *.c, *.conf, *.cpp, *.csv, *.html, *.inf, *.ini, *.json, *.md, *.rpz, *.rst, *.sh, *.txt, *.xml, *.yaml, *.yml, *.zip, and *.zone.
