Editing: README-WORDS
A tiny example wordlist is included with the cracklib package itself. A very large dictionary suitable for use with cracklib is also available from the github repository https://github.com/cracklib/cracklib Other sources for word lists include: http://wordlist.sourceforge.net/ http://www.openwall.com/wordlists/ Please note, the licenses on some of those word lists are restrictive, so please read the licenses before redistributing them. The cracklib-words distribution from the cracklib sourceforge project page has been built solely from word lists previously distributed with cracklib or crack packages and/or public domain word lists. For best results, supply cracklib with as large a wordlist as you have available to you - blackhats brute forcing passwords have those same lists, might as well use it to benefit your security. There are HUGE (multi GB) wordlists available online with questionable sources, but if you are looking for the most complete source, those would be worth investigating. One collection of them here: https://github.com/danielmiessler/SecLists/tree/master/Passwords/Common-Credentials
