What is a good resource for wordlists used in auditing passwords in non english languages. I have extensive wordlists in English ranging to several GB's, but can't find similar resources for other languages.

I would especially like to know about any password database leaks from non-English sites, for training password entropy algos. – bobince Dec 27 '11 at 09:21

I would like to know how you deal with different encodings? This is really important when dealing with non-English dictionaries. Is there a magical incantation I can use with recode or iconv to convert all of them safely to UTF-8 or something common? – Marcin Jan 25 '12 at 14:33

@SonnyOrdell Wouldn't a really great English password dictionary/ rainbow table eventually cover other languages? – cutrightjm Mar 19 '12 at 12:36

@ekaj Would it still be an English dictionary in that case? – Sonny Ordell Mar 20 '12 at 21:16

@SonnyOrdell I guess, technically, if you have a good enough rainbow table (It would be freaking huge), it is every language. – cutrightjm Mar 21 '12 at 02:16

If you see this question here: Where can I find good dictionaries for dictionary attacks? you will find many good sites for downloadable dictionaries. However for language specific dictionaries I would recommend:
- Create your own based on Wikipedia. My PowerShell script does that: https://github.com/ChrisAD/wiki-dictionary-creator
- Go look for Scrabble wordlists for the target language. E.g. Google
scrabble wordlist github french
