We could mangle that wordlist with Hashcat as follows: hashcat -stdout -rules-file /usr/share/hashcat/rules/le client123pass.txt | uniq -u > client123mangleuniq.txtДЄlright, so the (вЂ“stdout) tells hashcat to output every password it mangles to the terminal, (вЂ“rule-file) tells it to read a rule file from disk, and in this example we use the built-in best64 rule but you can use a different one, we then provide the password file we generated using CeWL. So letвЂ™s say your CeWL operation generated a wordlist called client123pass.txt Hashcat isnвЂ™t just great for cracking password hashes, we can also use its mangler functionality so that the generated wordlist can be used in other tools such as Burp or Hydra etcвЂ¦Д«y default Kali keeps the hashcat rules files (.rule extension) inВ /usr/share/hashcat/rules/. But people like to choose complex password such as вЂmypass1вЂ™ instead of just вЂmypassвЂ™ right? So we can use a mangler to add some transformations to those passwords. Okay, so thatвЂ™s going to give us a bunch of words. The command is simple and would look something like this: cewl -d 3 -m 5 -w client123pass.txt The (-d 3) means we want a link depth of 3, the (-m 5) means we want words that have a minimum of 5 characters, client123pass.txt is where the wordlist will be written and is the site youвЂ™re targeting. This is great when youвЂ™re working on an engagement that is in a specific industry вЂ“ itвЂ™s very likely that passwords will be somehow related to that industry. Kali has a built in tool called CeWL written by Digininja (which can also be downloaded for other distributions) that allow you to scrape a site for keywords to use as password guesses.

IвЂ™ve been seeing some questions about how to build wordlists for password attacks and those are, 1) how do I build a custom word list and, 2) how do I mangle an existing word listвЂ¦ both can be easily answered and accomplished with ready made tools.
