Welcome back, my fellow hackers! First a word to my followers: sorry i have been out for awhile, but i had finals, so i had to study. The good news is, I'll be rolling out articles again! And this time, we're going to look at a very nice tool called the Common User Password Profiler (CUPP) What Is CUPP Exactly?
CUPP is a very powerful tool that creates a wordlist specifically for a person. CUPP is cross platform and written in Python. CUPP asks you questions about the target (name, wife's name, pet's name.) and then creates a password based on the keywords you entered. But how exactly does CUPP work? Humans, no matter how much we think we are unique, show the same patterns when it comes to passwords. We usually pick passwords that are easy to remember, so we take personal things into our passwords.
For example, someone could easily remember a password that contains his birthday and the name of his wife. So for example, someone who has a wife named Lucy and was born on, would have password like 'Lucy05071978'. CUPP uses these 'algorithms' that are hardwired in humans and exploits them, to generate a very effective wordlist. I personally find CUPP very effective and it is my personal favorite for when i need to crack a password of a specific person. I once did an experiment with 20 friends to see if their password appeared on the CUPP wordlist after i gave CUPP some info about them, and guess what: 16 of the 20 had their password guessed by CUPP! Anyway, enough talk, let's get our hands dirty! Step 1: Fire Up Kali and Git CUPP our first step is of course to fire up Kali, our beloved hacking system.
Once we have Kali up and running, we need to make a directory to store our CUPP files in our home directory. So enter this command: mkdir CUPP then navigate to that directory cd CUPP once inside the CUPP directory, go ahead and enter the following line into your terminal: git clone if git doesn't work, you probably don't have it installed. If so, enter this command: apt-get update && apt-get install git if everything goes alright, you should recieve an output like this.

As you can see, there are many settings, but for now, we want to focus on the '1337 mode' and special chars settings. First, what 1337 mode does is simply go through all the passwords CUPP generated, will replace, for example, a with 4 in that password, and add the new password to the wordlist.
This mode makes your wordlist larger, but it increases your chances of success BY TONS. However, we want a to be equal to @ aswell. To do that, simply add this line under 'leet'. A=@ next up the special characters. These characters will also be added randomly at the end of the passwords generated by CUPP. I will not edit these, but if you want to, you can simply add a character to it. The other settings are quite self explanational.
Step 3: Using CUPP now, we'll finally start using CUPP. Start CUPP in interactive mode by invoking this command: python cupp.py -i here you will need to enter all the info of your target.
You can get this info by your target. But as an example, my 'target' will be John Smith, he is an electrician, born on, and goes by the nickname 'Tirrian'. He has a wife named Barbara, but we don't know her nickname. We know his wife is born on. He also has a son named Alex, we also don't know his nickname, but we know his son was born on. We also know he has a dog named Laika and he owns a company named ElectricFab. (no copyright infringement intended if this fictional company actually exists.) furthermore we know he is a huge soccer fan and supporter of Real Madrid.
John had to remember his password easily, so he made his password barbara, but replaced the a's with @'s to make it more secure, and he also added the birthday of his wife, which is 14/07, but without the dashes. So his password is: B@rb@r@1407 take note that this password contains atleast one capital letter, is 8 characters long, has a number in it, and has a special character, which are the minimum norms for passwords on most sites.
(ALSO, take note that JOHN SMITH IS NOT A REAL PERSON! Well ok, maybe there is a John Smith, but this one is completely out of my imagination and doesn't exist in real life!) let's see if CUPP can guess it. Enter John's info as followed. How Can I Protect Myself? Simply don't use a password associated with you.
What i personally use to make difficult passwords are 'password' sentences. They are extremely difficult to crack, but really easy to remember by you.
First, take a random sentence you can remember, for example: 'My girlfriend is ten times more attractive than my Religion teacher!' Can be translated to 'Mgi10XmatmRt!' That there, is a really good password if you ask me. For more info on how to protect yourself, have a look at master OTW's tutorial on. (he even explained better than me how to create a passphrase).
That's it for now, folks! I hope you all enjoyed reading the article! If you need any help or have any questions, feel free to PM me!

Wordlist For Password Cracking
-Phoenix750 Related. Really nice, this is very quick and useful tool when you have to guess the pass and you know something about his/her owner:) Just a thing: I tried it out with my own password, obviously I wrote a combination of word that I knew where in it. But it missed my psw because of a capital letter! If my password was 'lightning50' i saw in the generated word list there was 'Lightning50' even if I wrote both words 'lightning' and 'Lightning'. Why did it choose only the word with the capital letter? Thanks for sharing Phoenix750 Reply. Aria pro ii serial. Question 1: CUPP is NOT a password cracker!
CUPP is a program to generate wordlists. You need to use the wordlist generated by CUPP with a password cracking program like. Or any other password cracking program that requires also, take note that CUPP has a high success rate, but it is still possible that CUPP can't generate the correct password if the target knows how to make strong passwords. Issue 1: i need more details. How are you trying to open it? Issue 2: make sure you are in the directory where CUPP.py is located, and that you have execution privileges on the CUPP.py file here is how you start CUPP correctly (type this in your terminal) cd python cupp.py -i -Phoenix750 Reply.
Hi, I just tried this script and first of all, I wondered if it is possible to use cupp3.py? Because when I try to use it I have an error message: /CUPP/cupp# python cupp3.py -i File 'cupp3.py', line 147 print(' n- You must enter a name at least!' , file=sys.stderr) And if the answer is yes, is it better to use cupp.py or cupp3.py? Moreover, I tried to add a leet for a=@, but i failed to actually implement it: I tried to modify the cupp.py file in the 3 different places it is needed to by adding those lines: a2 = config.get('leet','a') x = x.replace('a',a2) x = x.replace('a',a2) But it didn't work, the 'a' were only changed in '4', but not in '@'. Can someone explain me how to do it properly?
Some other options are:. Of course has some built in options for creating permutations from. Crunch – Password Cracking Wordlist Generator Features.

CrackStation's Password Cracking Dictionary I am releasing CrackStation's main password cracking dictionary (1,493,677,782 words, 15GB) for download. What's in the list? The list contains every wordlist, dictionary, and password database leak that I could find on the internet (and I spent a LOT of time looking). It also contains every word in the Wikipedia databases (pages-articles, retrieved 2010, all languages) as well as lots of books from. It also includes the passwords from some low-profile database breaches that were being sold in the underground years ago.
The format of the list is a standard text file sorted in non-case-sensitive alphabetical order. Lines are separated with a newline ' n' character. You can test the list without downloading it by giving SHA256 hashes to the or to on twitter. Here are the results of cracking and password hash leaks with the list.
The list is responsible for cracking about 30% of all hashes given to CrackStation's free hash cracker, but that figure should be taken with a grain of salt because some people try hashes of really weak passwords just to test the service, and others try to crack their hashes with other online hash crackers before finding CrackStation. Using the list, we were able to crack 49.98% of one customer's set of 373,000 human password hashes to motivate their move to a better salting scheme.

Think about the following points when deciding how much to pay:. If I wasn't doing a 'pay what want' I would set the price at $5. Caldera sky islands cd.
