+# crackstation-wordlist [TXT dataset]
+
+## Overview
+
+This dataset is a curated collection of [CrackStation's Password Cracking Dictionary](https://crackstation.net/crackstation-wordlist-password-cracking-dictionary.htm). 
+
+It includes every wordlist, dictionary, and password database leak available online, along with every word from the Wikipedia databases (pages-articles, retrieved 2010, all languages) and numerous books from Project Gutenberg. Additionally, it contains passwords from some lesser-known database breaches that circulated in the underground years ago.
+
+The dataset is provided as a standard text file, sorted in non-case-sensitive alphabetical order, with lines separated by newline (`\n`) characters.
+
+You can test the list without downloading it by submitting SHA256 hashes to the [free hash cracker](https://crackstation.net). To compute hashes easily, you can use this [online tool](https://defuse.ca/checksums.htm). For reference, here are the results of cracking the password hash leaks from [LinkedIn](https://defuse.ca/blog/cracking-linkedin-hashes-with-crackstation) and [eHarmony](https://defuse.ca/blog/cracking-eharmonys-unsalted-hashes-with-crackstation) using this list.
