Hi.
I'd like to compare a string to be used for a password against a dictionary. Any idea on how to do this?
Thanks

Ah ethical cracking I hope.

You will need a dictionary file, the code is pretty simplistic.
Code: Select all
<?php
$words = file('/path/to/file/' . $dictionaryFile);
if(in_array($words, $passGuess)) {
echo 'Password is :' . $passGuess;
}
else {
echo 'Password is not in the dictionary file.';
}
?>
You will also have to account for case sensitivity.

Thanks..
Yes, it's to ensure that users do not use normal words as a password.

Any idea where i can download a file to use as a dictionary? i've looked, but can't find..
