Wordlist

CI Code Climate Gem Version

Description

Wordlist is a Ruby library and CLI for reading, combining, mutating, and building wordlists, efficiently.

Features

Examples

Reading

Open a wordlist for reading:

wordlist = Wordlist.open("passwords.txt")

Open a compressed wordlist for reading:

wordlist = Wordlist.open("rockyou.txt.gz")

Enumerate through a wordlist:

wordlist.each do |word|
  puts word
end

Create an in-memory list of literal words:

words = Wordlist::Words["foo", "bar", "baz"]

List Operations

Concat two wordlists together:

(wordlist1 + wordlist2).each do |word|
  puts word
end

Union two wordlists together:

(wordlist1 | wordlist2).each do |word|
  puts word
end

Subtract one wordlist from the other:

(wordlist1 - wordlist2).each do |word|
  puts word
end

Combine every word from wordlist1 with the words from wordlist2:

(wordlist1 * wordlist2).each do |word|
  puts word
end

Combine the wordlist with itself multiple times:

(wordslist ** 3).each do |word|
  puts word
end

Filter out duplicates from multiple wordlists:

(wordlist1 + wordlist2 + wordlist3).uniq.each do |word|
  puts word
end

String Manipulation

Convert every word in a wordlist to lowercase:

wordlist.downcase.each do |word|
  puts word
end

Convert every word in a wordlist to UPPERCASE:

wordlist.upcase.each do |word|
  puts word
end

Capitalize every word in a wordlist:

wordlist.capitalize.each do |word|
  puts word
end

Run String#tr on every word in a wordlist:

wordlist.tr('_','-').each do |word|
  puts word
end

Run String#sub on every word in a wordlist:

wordlist.sub("fish","phish").each do |word|
  puts word
end

Run String#gsub on every word in a wordlist:

wordlist.gsub(/\d+/,"").each do |word|
  puts word
end

Performs every possible mutation of each word in a wordlist:

wordlist.mutate(/[oae]/, {'o' => '0', 'a' => '@', 'e' => '3'}).each do |word|
  puts word
end
# dog
# d0g
# firefox
# fir3fox
# firef0x
# fir3f0x
# ...

Enumerates over every possible case variation of every word in a wordlist:

wordlist.mutate_case.each do |word|
  puts word
end
# cat
# Cat
# cAt
# caT
# CAt
# CaT
# cAT
# CAT
# ...

Building a Wordlist

Wordlist::Builder.open('path/to/file.txt.gz') do |builder|
  # ...
end

Add individual words:

builder.add(word)

Adding an Array of words:

builder.append(words)

Parsing text:

builder.parse(text)

Parsing a file's content:

builder.parse_file(path)

Requirements

    cat *.txt | wordlist --build custom.txt

Reading a wordlist:

$ wordlist rockyou.txt.gz

Reading multiple wordlists:

$ wordlist sport_teams.txt beers.txt

Combining every word from one wordlist with another:

$ wordlist sport_teams.txt -p beers.txt -p all_four_digits.txt
coors0000
coors0001
coors0002
coors0003
...

Combining every word from one wordlist with itself, N times:

$ wordlist words.txt -P 3

Mutating every word in a wordlist:

$ wordlist passwords.txt -m o:0 -m e:3 -m a:@
dog
d0g
firefox
fir3fox
firef0x
fir3f0x
...

Executing a command on each word in the wordlist:

$ wordlist directories.txt --exec "curl -X POST -F 'user=joe&password={}' -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code} {}' https://$TARGET/login"

Building a wordlist from a directory of .txt files:

$ wordlist --build wordlist.txt dir/*.txt
