Twitter Words of Interest.
When attempting to crack passwords custom word lists are very useful additions to standard dictionaries. An interesting idea originally released on the “7 Habits of Highly Effective Hackers” blog was to use Twitter to help generate those lists based on searches for keywords related to the list that is being cracked. I’ve expanded this idea into twofi which will take multiple search terms and return a word list sorted by most common first.
A second option, suggested by @pentest4dummies, was to look at what specific users have been saying and use their own tweets to build up the list so I’ve added that as well. Given a list of twitter usernames the script will bring back approximately the last 500 tweets for each user and use those to create the list.
