MINE-Wordlist is a collection of wordlists used for fuzzing. Fuzzing is a method often used to test software by inputting a wide range of data to find bugs or vulnerabilities. This wordlist can help users perform such tests by providing a ready set of words.
You don’t need any special skills or software knowledge to use this. The files are simple text lists that you can apply with various tools made for fuzzing or security testing.
To use MINE-Wordlist, you need:
- A Windows computer (Windows 7, 8, 10, or later).
- At least 100 MB free space (for storing wordlists).
- A program to read or use the wordlists. Examples include common fuzzing tools or text editors like Notepad or Notepad++.
- Internet connection for downloading.
The wordlists are plain text files, which work with most fuzzing software or any program that accepts wordlist inputs.
Click the big green button below to visit the download page. This page has the latest wordlist files, ready for you to download.
To download the files:
- Click the green "Code" button on the GitHub page.
- Select "Download ZIP" from the dropdown.
- Save the ZIP file in a folder you recognize (like Downloads).
- Locate the downloaded ZIP file (usually in your Downloads folder).
- Right-click the ZIP file.
- Choose "Extract All...".
- Pick a destination folder, such as Desktop or Documents.
- Click "Extract".
Now, you have access to the wordlist files.
The extracted folder contains text files. Each file is a list of words used for fuzzing.
- You can open these files with Notepad:
- Right-click a file.
- Choose “Open with” > “Notepad” (or any text editor).
- Or, you can use them with your fuzzing tool or security software by pointing the tool to these files.
If you use security software or fuzzers that accept wordlists, set the path to the files you just extracted. The tool will then use the list of words in these files to test targets.
- Choose the target system or application to test.
- Use a fuzzing tool or script.
- Load one or more wordlist files as input for the tool.
- Run the test. The tool will try values from the lists.
- Review the results from your tool for issues or errors.
If you don’t have a fuzzing tool yet, research options like “fuzzing software for Windows” or “simple fuzzers” online. Many free tools accept wordlists.
- Check the GitHub page regularly for new or updated wordlists.
- Download the latest ZIP file when available.
- Replace your old extracted files with the new ones to keep your wordlists current.
The extracted folder contains several text files named by common category or usage. For example:
mine-private.txt– Core wordlist focused on Mine Private terms.common-words.txt– Frequently used words for general fuzzing.extensions.txt– Common file extensions useful for testing file inputs.paths.txt– Typical path and directory names to try.
Files are saved in plain text. You can open or edit them in any text editor without extra software.
- If the ZIP file does not extract, ensure you have software like Windows Explorer or 7-Zip.
- Files open as blank or strange characters? Try opening them with Notepad or Notepad++.
- If the fuzzing tool can’t use the list, check that you pointed to the correct file path.
- For slow fuzzing performance, try smaller wordlists first to test.
