## What it is
pydictor is a Python-based wordlist (dictionary) builder for brute-force and dictionary attacks. It generates general, custom, and social-engineering password wordlists with filtering, leet mode, and plugin/encode extension support.

## Use cases
- generate a password wordlist for brute-force attacks
- build a custom dictionary based on web content
- create a social engineering password list from personal info
- filter and dedupe an existing wordlist by length or regex
- generate weak password lists for penetration testing

## When to choose
- you need highly customizable password wordlists for authorized penetration tests
- you want leet-mode, regex filtering, or plugin-extendable dictionary generation
- you need a cross-platform Python 2/3 compatible wordlist tool

## When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose password manager or generator for real credentials
- you want a GUI-based cracking tool like hashcat with GPU acceleration
- attacking targets without consent - unauthorized use is illegal
