Wordlist Generators

Generate custom dictionaries from text, sites, names, and patterns, for subdomain brute-forcing, password-list seeding, and fuzzing.

A handful of generators produce custom wordlists tailored to your target. The right wordlist often makes the difference between a brute-force that finds something and one that doesn't, generic lists like common.txt are useful as a baseline, but target-specific lists hit assets the generic lists miss.

Generators in this group

Username Generator

Generates handle candidates from a name (and optional birth year, optional known handles). Same engine as the username permutator in the People & Identity section. Useful as a generic dictionary for any tool that consumes username candidates.

Subdomain Wordlist Generator

Generates target-specific subdomain candidates. Configurable patterns:

PatternExamples
Common environmentsdev, staging, prod, test, beta, qa
Numbered envsdev1 through dev9, env01 through env20
Region prefixesus-, eu-, ap-, de-, fr-
Service namesapi, app, admin, auth, cdn, mail, vpn
Cross-productapi-dev, api-staging, app-eu, ...

The output is the input to Gobuster (DNS mode) or to the toolkit's own subdomain discovery.

Wordlist Extractor

Extracts unique words from a source text or a URL. Configurable filters:

FilterBehaviour
Min / max lengthWord-length bounds
Character classAlpha-only, alphanum, allow-symbols
Frequency-sorted outputMost-frequent first
N-gram extractionBigrams, trigrams (combinations of adjacent words)
Per-page word source attributionWhen extracting from a multi-page crawl, surfaces which page each word came from

For password / passphrase candidate generation, the wordlist extractor over a target's website is one of the cheapest ways to seed a list with target-relevant terms (product names, internal jargon, employee names from public bios, etc.).

Wordlist generation is harmless. Wordlist use in brute-force attacks generates real traffic against the target. Use generated lists only against assets you own or are authorised to test.

Cross-tool composition

The wordlist generators feed:

Each generator's output exports as plain text, one entry per line, ready to drop into any of the consumers.

Pivots

The generators do not pivot, they produce candidates. The pivots come from running the candidates through the next tool.

Sources

  • All generators run locally.
  • The wordlist extractor's URL-mode fetches the target URL directly (rate-limited).
  • No external API is queried.
