SEEKING LIST OF COMMON WORDS

I'm seeking a list of words one would find in an english dictionary
(ie 'bank', 'cat', 'symphony', etc.)

All I need is a comprehensive list of these common words. If anyone
can send to me or direct me to a such a list I WOULD BE VERY GREATFULL
!!!

Thx

Hi Mike:

Are you trying to make a spell checker? I found a spell checker tool on
universalthread.com that has over 100,000 entries in its database.

Go to www.universalthread.com, click on the Download icon, and choose
Visual FoxPro as the product. In the ID text box of the query page, search
for "9846."

I hope this helps.

Many password crackers will do a (fast) "dictionary" attempt before doing a
(slow) brute-force method.

Years ago I had l0phtcrack 2 with such a file but since the guys were
"bought up" by @stake security it's become a commercial product so I don't
think it would be legal to pinch the same list although you can still check
it out here http://www.atstake.com/products/lc/download.html
A quick search for the old version 2 turns up a ton of warez sites which I'm
not going to drill through whilst I'm at work ;)

Reading between the lines you are either wanting a list for such a program
or you want a list so if a user tries to set their password to one you can
say "too common!"

*googles again for a minute*
Hmm, maybe you can find something you want here:
