Hey everyone, I'm currently putting together some targeted wordlists for a specialized penetration testing assessment. The client is a hospitality group based in the DACH region, and I want to test their employee password policy strength against highly tailored, localized brute-force attacks. When generating dictionaries for specific regions, I always try to scrape local dialect words, nearby landmarks, and specific regional naming conventions. For instance, I'm using the public site data of a traditional Austrian alpine resort as a structural template for my rulesets. For a business like this, standard generic wordlists miss the mark entirely, whereas combinator attacks mixing local German terms, seasonal words (Winter, Alpen, Ski), zip codes, and localized telephone formats are much more effective.
