Having a big and a good wordlists always help but as a penetration tester you must be able to create your own custom wordlists depending on the situation.
Here in this tutorial I am going to show you that how you can make your own wordlist according to your situation. We are going to use a tool in Backtrack named as ‘Crunch’. So here we go :
Step 1: Open your terminal and navigate to crunch directory using this command
cd /pentest/passwords/crunch
Now we will make a wordlist which will contains all the combination having these characters ‘password’.
So we will execute the following command :
./crunch 8 8 password –o wordlist.txt
Now it will create a wordlist that will have minimum length of characters 8, maximum length of characters 8 with the characters of ‘password’. You can see it in below image :
Now you can also create a wordlist which will contain only numbers for that you can use this command :
./crunch 4 4 1234 –o numwordlist.txt
For alphanumeric you can use this
./crunch 4 4 adm123 –o alphanum.txt
