These Wordlists Don't Target Specific Individuals #16

Closed berzerk0 closed 7 years ago

berzerk0 commented 7 years ago

While these lists are representative of the WORLD, they may not be representative of a particular PERSON.

People are more likely to use passwords that include some aspects of their personal lives, things that are important to them.

Is there some kind of tool that can create wordlists that are laser-guided to a specific individual?

Thanks for asking!

That's what BEWGor is for!

The Bull's Eye Wordlist Generator, or BEWGor helps you 'Pick Your Knows' about an individual and create a Wordlist targeted directly to them!

Inspired by and based on the widely used CUPP by Mebus, BEWGor expands on CUPP's functionality by asking further specific questions about a main subject. Additionally, BEWGor requests information about a Significant Other, as well as an arbitrary number of Children, Parents, Siblings and Pets. It creates capitalization variants of all terms included, and allows you to save inputted terms to an external file.

It is currently in a very 'flat' Alpha state, and does not have all the features I intend to include. Currently, it treats Significant Others the same way it treats Children, Siblings, Parents and Pets - which is sub-optimal and morally questionable. Future releases will include smarter inquiry - if the Main Subject has a Significant Other, request their Anniversary Date. If they have a pet, what type? A dog? What breed?

Ideally, BEWGor will generate a Terms File that can be edited and added to outside of the program itself, then fed directly back into BEWGor to circumvent additional information prompting.

It is an excellent companion to the Probable-Wordlists, and if you want to improve your own password security - RUN IT ON YOURSELF! If it generates the password you created based on your Mother's Maiden name and the Neighborhood you grew up in, you can be assured someone else can guess that password as well.
