Props to

for compiling the most comprehensive wordlist downloads on the web. Copying links here just in case blogspot ever blows up. Additionally head over to

they have some specialized wordlists from various sources including the hacked RockYou database and a skim of Facebook names/usernames for a total of 14,488,929 distinct passwords to be exact, collected from 32,943,045 users.

Brute force, even though it’s gotten so fast, is still a long way away from cracking long complex passwords. That’s were word lists come in handy. It’s usually the crackers first go-to solution, slam a word list against the hash, if that doesn’t work, try rainbow tables (if they happen to have the tables for that specific hash type), and then the full on brute force. Some would say those first two steps are reversed, and it really is the choice of the the person doing it and the word lists they have to work with.
