Censored Common Passwords

Open gilp06 opened this issue 3 years ago • 6 comments

I'm wanting to use the Common-Credentials password list for a Science Fair project for Password Cracking. I wanted to know if there was a way I could get a version that doesn't have vulgar words because I don't think it would be school appropriate. If you can't provide this or know where else I can find something like this let me know.

I don't where else to put something like this so correct me if I need to send something like this somewhere else.

Your best bet would be to parse the list through something that checks for a list of vulgar words (for example, the Ofcom Attitueds to potentially offensive language and gestures on TV and radio guidance [Warning: This link contains a wide range of words that may cause offense (warning repeated on first page of document)]). In my opinion, providing a censored list would devalue the core intent of the repository, as some common passwords do contain vulgar words.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Thats a good point and idea. It would need someone to remove it and then make a pull request with it. There should already be various lists of "naughty words" to remove!

I can do this. Could you tell me which exact file you intend to use? I mean, "Common-Credentials" is a folder with several lists. I've already found a list of words to censor. If someone has time to do the new one before I do, I recommend doing some permutations for greater scope. Anyway, the repository in question has lists in several languages.

this looks interesting to implement

I know this is a bit old, but what I ended up doing was just making a python script that just parsed the list, and removed words that were profanity by just using a profanity checker library, and used that in my project.

check out pr #931 and see if there could be anything that can be added
