62K Common Passwords

As part of any penetration test, you will at some point want to try common passwords to brute-force an account or access.   As a general rule, we've always recommended the 500 worst passwords list as a starting point.  Unfortunately, we wanted to test more than just a few bad passwords (and yes we mean 500 is a few).  We wanted to really see if we could gain access with a larger set.  As a result we were individually using passwords from various sources.  So to make life easier for us and you, we are sharing a password list that consists of over 62K passwords assembled from sources such as Hak5, Cain, 500 worst,  conficker, elitehacker, facebook, faithwriters, honeynet, hotmail, and twitter banned.
