Password cracking is a specialty of some hackers, and it's often thought that raw computing power trumps everything else. That is true in some cases, but sometimes it's more about the wordlist. Making a custom, targeted wordlist can cut down cracking time considerably, and Wordlister can help with that.
Wordlister vs Other Wordlist Generators
Wordlister is a wordlist generator and mangler written in Python that can be used to create custom password combinations for cracking. Its main features include multiprocessing for faster speeds and a handful of useful permutation options, including leetspeak, capitalization, and the ability to append and prepend words.
Crunch is a popular wordlist generator that also creates multiple combinations of passwords, but it relies more on patterns and characters than input files. Also, Crunch requires a flag to be set to limit duplicates, something that Wordlister handles automatically.
CeWL is another popular wordlist generator, although it is a different beast altogether. The tool works by spidering webpages and uses words from there to create custom password lists. CeWL could actually be a useful counterpart to Wordlister; by feeding Wordlister the output of CeWL scraping a webpage, even more targeted password lists could be created.
