Overview

People think they are getting smarter by using passphrases. Let's prove them wrong!

This project includes a massive wordlist of phrases (17,737,982) and two hashcat rule files for GPU-based cracking.

Passphrase wordlist and raw data sources are available to DOWNLOAD HERE

Use both rules for best results.

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.

Hashcat Rules

Given the phrase take the red pill the first hashcat rule will output the following

take the red pill
take-the-red-pill
take.the.red.pill
take,the,red,pill
take_the_red_pill
taketheredpill
Take the red pill
TAKE THE RED PILL
tAKE THE RED PILL
Taketheredpill
tAKETHEREDPILL
TAKETHEREDPILL
Take The Red Pill
TakeTheRedPill
Take-The-Red-Pill
Take.The.Red.Pill
Take,The,Red,Pill
Take_The_Red_Pill

Adding in the second hashcat rule makes things get a bit more interesting. That will return a huge list per candidate. Here are a couple examples:

T@k3Th3R3dPill!
T@ke-The-Red-Pill
taketheredpill2020!
T0KE THE RED PILL (unintentional humor)

Enjoy!
