Security Basics: RE: Password audit dictionary

[Birl <sbirl () temple edu>]

Forget that last post.  I later realized that what I *had* was not
mega_dic.zip, but something else.

I downloaded mega_dic.zip to  http://concept.temple.edu/sysadmin/
and found out that the dictionary is over 227 Million lines long.

Again, for those interested, if you cannot obtain the dictionary from the
HackMate website, it's on mine.

sbirl:   about 1,000,000 bytes smaller than the ZIP?)
