[conspire] Password permutations (was: Correction)

 Good point.  Start with a dictionary of 5000 words and black out the 500 most common.  That gives you 4500 choices.
Actually I wouldn't create a dictionary, I would just pick words try to avoid words I thought were common. 

Remember numeric PINs?   1111 and 1234 were probably used on 25% of the accounts.  I remember seeing a posting of 10 pins that actually opened 75% of actual accounts.

 So if you are going to take advantage of the larger dictionary, how does this help you, unless you can be sure that the word you found in the larger dictionary is not in the smaller dictionary?
