I wrote a Password Wordlist Generator in Python

As I am getting experience and writing simple programs in Python, I wanted to write a "hacking" related program. Not too hard, but not too simple.

PasswordListGenerator



I think I got the idea from watching a Mr Robot episode, Elliot creates a wordlist for cracking passwords. This gave me an idea and I thought I would do this!

So I searched for similar programs to see if something like this existed and I found CUPP and BEWGor.

These are absolutely beautiful. They are well written and provide many operations and options for creating a wordlist.  

I took the idea of how these programs worked to create the wordlist and applied my version to do the same.

Yes, it is not an original idea, but it is my implementation.

I have to agree, the best way to get better at a programming language is to do a project.

I posted a small GIF showing how the program works on Reddit and it got a good amount of reactions. Turns out, people actually give great advice and motivate you on the internet!

I learnt a lot from doing this and taking advice on it. The best advice I got was on how to name my files and using the PEP8 style guide for Python.

I will continue to write programs in Python, I just wrote a simple Port Scanner and it was really fun.

I plan on using the books, Black Hat Python and Violent Python to further learn and improve.

Thanks for reading!

Best Reddit Subreddits for Cybersecurity and Hacking!

Reddit is a very useful website for discussions about everything. For cybersecurity and hacking too, it has useful subreddits, in which, you will learn a lot of things you previously had no knowledge of. So, I have compiled a list of security related subreddits. 1. Active and Most helpful subreddits: /r/netsec /r/AskNetsec /r/netsecstudents These three are pretty much it. They have very active communities and are very helpful. I, personally use  /r/netsecstudents a lot because I'm still in the process of learning and that subreddit(if you look properly) will tell you how to make a career in every security field. 2. Security Certification Subreddits: r/CompTIA (for Security+) r/ccna (for CCNA and CCNA Security, also r/ccnp for CCNP) r/CEH (for CEH) r/cissp (Certified Information Systems Security Professional) r/oscp (Offensive Security Certified Professional) Really helpful if you're doing any of these Certs. 3.
