## What it is
RockYou2021.txt is a massive compiled password wordlist of roughly 82 billion unique entries (6-20 ASCII characters), aggregated from multiple public breach and wordlist sources. It is distributed via torrent and Mega.nz for use in legal password strength auditing and dictionary attacks with tools like hashcat.

## Use cases
- test password strength against a large dictionary
- run dictionary attacks with hashcat during authorized pentests
- audit internal password policies for weak credentials
- check whether user passwords appear in known breach lists
- build a comprehensive password cracking wordlist for security research

## When to choose
- you need one of the largest available password wordlists for authorized security audits
- you want a pre-merged collection of many popular wordlists in one download
- you are testing password strength or doing hashcat dictionary attacks

## When to avoid
- you need username:password pairs from breaches - this list contains passwords only
- you want a small, curated wordlist for quick tests
- you lack explicit authorization to test the target systems
- you need ASCII-free or non-ASCII password coverage - non-ASCII lines were removed

## Facets
- artifact type: dataset
- maturity: maintenance
- function: security, penetration-testing, data-generation
- domain: security, penetration-testing, developer-tools
- platform: cross-platform, cli
