    You can buy a dictionary and compile it's database if the TOS allow it . Also are dictionary attacks still useful ? I'm moved to passwords like !G%&YHsdf&**22GG for ages now . I thought everybody did the same thing .

    ah don't worry about it guys, and haha no Wulkanen it wasn't for a dictionary attack :p, it was to combine certain keywords to find me a domain.

    I ended up writing one in PHP and found a list with 60,000 words so it's all good ;)

    You'd be amazed how many private persons and companies that are still using easy passwords.
    When I was studying IT in high school we got to learn how to hack our way in to servers (educational purpose).
    The servers were barely protected by its passwords.

    Also, I think there are statistics from popular social networks and so on that people are not using good enough passwords.
