Weak Password list

[Anon]

I'm building a secure login for a client and would like to check a new users password against a list of weak passwords. If that password exists on the list, I want to ask them to choose another.

The problem is, where can I find such a list. I'm aware that PHP has a crack function but my host (for my client) doesn't have that module compiled - so I guess I gotta build my own.

Any idea where I can find one?

Thanks,
KABOOM!

put it in a file or in a database and query from there. if the password matches then give message.

Hi Brian

Thanks for the reply and perhaps my message wasn't clear. I need a list of words rather than how to implement.

Thanks,

force the password to include numbers and be caps as well as lower case that way you dont have to check the new password against a huge list, just a few rules

and if you still want a list go and look for password crackers with wordlists. would be a soloution, wouldn't it ?
