## What it is
A collection of password wordlists and dictionaries compiled from public breach data, intended for dictionary attacks against WPA2 and other targets with tools like aircrack-ng, hashcat, hydra, and John the Ripper. It includes helper shell scripts for cleaning, de-duplicating, and filtering wordlists to valid WPA2 candidates.

## Use cases
- crack a captured WPA2 handshake with aircrack-ng
- find wordlists for hashcat password recovery
- test the strength of wifi passwords I own
- clean and de-duplicate a password wordlist
- filter wordlists to 8+ character WPA2 candidates
- build dictionary attack lists for authorized penetration tests

## When to choose
- you need ready-made breach-derived wordlists for WPA2 or general password auditing
- you want helper scripts to prep and filter wordlists for cracking tools
- you are doing authorized wireless security testing on Kali Linux

## When to avoid
- you need the newest leaked password data (lists were compiled in 2016)
- you want a cracking tool itself rather than wordlist data
- you lack authorization to test the target network

## Facets
- artifact type: dataset
- maturity: maintenance
- function: security, developer-tools
- domain: security, penetration-testing
- platform: cli
- tags: wordlists, password-cracking, wpa2, dictionary-attack, aircrack-ng, hashcat, kali-linux, linux
