# CrackStation-password-list
## Overview
This dataset is based on the comprehensive [CrackStation Password Cracking Dictionary](https://crackstation.net/crackstation-wordlist-password-cracking-dictionary.htm), a widely recognized resource in password security research.
### Key Features
- **Comprehensive Collection**: Aggregates publicly available wordlists, password leaks, and dictionaries from various sources.
- **Diverse Origins**: Includes entries from Wikipedia dumps (2010, all languages), texts from [Project Gutenberg](https://www.gutenberg.org), and lesser-known database breaches shared in underground communities.
- **Optimized Format**: The data is stored as plain text, alphabetically sorted without case sensitivity, and uses newline (`\n`) as the delimiter.
### Files
* **crackstation.txt.gz/realuniq.lst** - CrackStation's main password cracking dictionary. Contains around ***~1.49 Billion*** words (1,493,677,782 words).
* **crackstation-human-only.txt.gz/realhuman_phill.txt** - A smaller wordlist with just the "real human" passwords leaked from various website databases. Contains around ***~64 Million*** passwords.
### Usage
- Test hashes with this dataset via the [CrackStation hash cracker](https://crackstation.net).
- Generate and verify hash values using tools like [Defuse Checksum](https://defuse.ca/checksums.htm).
The dataset has proven highly effective in cracking real-world password leaks such as [LinkedIn](https://defuse.ca/blog/cracking-linkedin-hashes-with-crackstation) and [eHarmony](https://defuse.ca/blog/cracking-eharmonys-unsalted-hashes-with-crackstation), highlighting its utility in password analysis and research.
