Here is a link (its cached from google) that a trainer from Foundstone showed me (his website) of the 51 most common passwords that worked 80% of the time to penetrate a network
if the link doesn't work here is the article itself:
There are many "Default Password Lists" on the internet that are fairly comprehensive. Many of them are too big. Over the past few years, I've compiled a personal list of passwords that I've run across. When doing internal assessments against NT environments, one of these 51 passwords get me in 80% of the time. I'm interested in adding to this list. Please send me any common passwords (for Domain Admin's) you may have run into.
Begin list:
123456
1234567
12345678
123asdf
Admin

asdf123
backup
backupexec

domino
exchadm

secret
sql
sqlexec
temp

temp123
test

test123
tivoli
veritas
virus
web

KKKKKKK
End List.
When I brutre force, I use username:username first, then this list. Do *not* forget to include a blank line in the above password list. Many accounts have blank passwords. That's it.

Subject: Password lists
Hi!
I am searching for "good" lists of common passwords. The definiton of good
in this context is that the passwords in the list are different from the
"aaaaa aaaab ... zzzzz" approach and contain also special characters (eg not
only words from a dictionary).
I want to use them with bruteforcers like "hydra". Does anybody know some
pointers where to find (or generate?) such lists?
Several pentesting live-distros like Auditor contain such lists. How useful
are they?
