An Example List of Common and Especially Bad Passwords
These guidelines cover the selection of good passwords and best practices in handling them.
The following list is a compilation of
several common password lists plus some lists of common words and common names
(the most common of the U.S. Census common name lists) purged of duplications.
In reality, any word that appears in the dictionary used by an intruder, would
be cracked as quickly as any of these. These are worse than some others only in
that they are likely to appear in any dictionary used by any cracker. Other
words and names are almost as common and thus almost as likely to appear in any
cracking dictionary. It's likely that some words and or names more common than
some of these have been missed. If a cracker uses an unabridged dictionary or
combinations of dictionaries, it will be very hard to find any word or name
they won't crack. This includes any variations such as discussed in Password
Cracking.
The list includes words likely to be
offensive to some.
