Greetings to the Penetration Test Community:
I've gone ahead and updated the Default Password Database to version 4.00.
The previous release (3.06) was way too old and after looking around the net
for a bit, I have to admit the problem remains out of control and someone
needed to reconsolidate the independent lists. Most were based on the
original DAD, so it was fairly easy to recombine them. The DAD went from
850 entries to about 1,650 -- nearly doubled in size. Also, I did my best
to standardize, clean redundancies, and keep quality control in check. Its
a long process, 4.0.0 does need to have several entries examined for
additional details.
It can be downloaded at (Excel, CSV, and HTML format):
http://www.swordsoft.com/publications (main site)
http://63.230.73.253/publications (backup site)
The main site always goes down once I release anything no matter how minor,
and I'm sure its just really, really rotten luck since I'm not the only site
hosted there. The backup site is more stable, but has a slower connection
and sometimes gets swamped. One or the other should work if luck holds out.
Take it easy,
Eric Knight
