CLAUDE.md

bruteforce-database CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from duyet/bruteforce-database. It costs 1,151 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository guidance for a curated collection of security wordlists, such as password, username, subdomain, and web-path lists.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding, reviewing, or organizing wordlists for penetration tests, security research, reconnaissance, or account-enumeration testing.
Why use it?
It explains the project's quality standards, documentation expectations, and ethical use so changes support authorized security testing.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md.

This is duyet/bruteforce-database's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on bruteforce-database itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything bruteforce-database configures →

About the project

Bruteforce Database is a collection of wordlists, meaning lists of possible passwords, usernames, paths, and other values used in security testing. It is for authorized penetration testing, password analysis, account enumeration, and web or infrastructure discovery. Its catalogue instruction relates to using these wordlists in security-testing workflows.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

bruteforce-database CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

CLAUDE - Project Philosophy & Principles

Community Led Archive of Universal Dictionaries for Ethical Security


The Vision

This is not just a collection of text files. This is a living archive maintained by the security community, for the security community.

Every wordlist tells a story. Every password represents a pattern in human behavior. Every username is a glimpse into digital identity. This repository preserves that knowledge and makes it accessible.

Core Principles

1. Quality Over Quantity

We don't collect every wordlist that exists. We curate the essential sets that security professionals actually need:

  • Password dictionaries for brute-force testing
  • Username collections for account enumeration
  • Subdomain lists for reconnaissance
  • Forced-browsing paths for web application testing

Standard: Every wordlist must have clear provenance, documented purpose, and validated quality.

2. Ethical Use

This repository exists to improve security, not undermine it:

  • Wordlists help security teams test their defenses
  • Penetration testers use these for authorized assessments
  • Researchers analyze password patterns to educate users
  • Developers test authentication systems against common attacks

Responsibility: We trust our community to use these resources ethically and legally.

3. Transparency

Every entry in this repository should be traceable:

  • Where did this wordlist come from?
  • When was it collected?
  • How many unique entries does it contain?
  • What is its intended use case?

Commitment: We maintain a comprehensive manifest with full metadata.

4. Community First

This repository belongs to everyone who contributes:

  • Contributors add new wordlists with proper attribution
  • Maintainers ensure quality and organization
  • Users provide feedback on effectiveness
  • The community decides what belongs

Promise: Every contribution is valued, credited, and preserved.

5. Evolution, Not Stagnation

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
