From: spaf@cs.purdue.EDU (Gene Spafford) Newsgroups: alt.security,sci.crypt Subject: Need dictionaries Message-ID: Date: 9 Sep 91 14:51:47 GMT Reply-To: spaf@cs.purdue.edu Organization: Department of Computer Sciences, Purdue University I am doing some research on a new method of password screening. The method involved uses a specialized compressed dictionary designed allow millions of words to be used without eating up all the disk space on a workstation. A paper on the preliminary design will be presented in October at the National Computer Security Conference, and has been submitted to a journal for publication. (A compressed PostScript version of the paper can be ftp'd from arthur.cs.purdue.edu, as ~ftp/pub/spaf/ncsc.PS.Z). To provide as comprehensive a test as I can of the method, I need dictionaries, especially dictionaries of non-English words. If you have such dictionaries, or know of archive locations, please let me know by e-mail. Many thanks.
