File README.SuSE of Package john-wordlists
The wordlists collection in this package is thankfully provided by the Openwall project. It is a result of processing many hundreds of public domain wordlist files from multiple sources and in a variety of file formats. Most files were rejected for being duplicates or for poor quality, but a few hundred remained and went into the combined wordlists you will find here. The wordlists are intended primarily for use with password crackers such as John the Ripper and with password recovery utilities. SUSE has a special agreement with Solar Designer of Openwall Project to freely distribute this wordlist - here is the license statement: Copyright (c) 2002,2003 by Solar Designer of Openwall Project The homepage URL for this wordlists collection is: http://www.openwall.com/wordlists/ You're allowed to use and redistribute this wordlists collection or parts thereof, with or without modification, provided that credit is given where it is due, any modified versions are marked as such, this license is kept intact and included with each copy, and NO FEE IS CHARGED FOR OBTAINING A COPY except as negotiated with the copyright holder. In particular, you are NOT permitted to charge for bandwidth, physical media, and/or shipping. You're also not permitted to bundle this wordlists collection with a product you charge for. If redistribution for a fee is what you're after, please contact the copyright holder to negotiate special terms for the downloadable or the extended CD-ready version of this collection. It was a significant amount of work to compile this collection and having a monopoly on regulating the CD sales is my way to compensate for the time already spent and to allow for further work. -------------------------------------- From a mail from the author, Alexander Peslyak <solar at openwall.com> on 18.07.2005 15:54 GMT: "I hereby give my permission to re-distribute the freely downloadable parts of the Openwall wordlists collection, including "all.lst", along with SUSE LINUX (and its successor products, if any), notwithstanding the terms of my published LICENSE." -------------------------------------- If you find this wordlist useful, please consider supporting Openwall project by purchasing the whole set of wordlist from this page: http://www.openwall.com/wordlists/ Have a lot of fun!
