On my post? I got no other replies, I also looked at web archive and I
don't see them. :(

Nice, I was aware of it, but basically is makes it runs faster and fix a
few bugs. But I was looking for a new "revolutionary" ruleset, such was
KoreLogic when released in 2010. Are you aware of any other?

Do you have experience with rulesfinder (
https://github.com/bartavelle/rulesfinder)? What do you think about it?

Serious? I was unable to find any built passphrase list :(

Hummm.. do you know any link that explain how to do it? I have no
experience with TextWrangler and I'm a bit unsure about the results of this
semi-automated approach...

I was looking at famous quotations and most of the sites split it by author
or type, which should be this process very boring and slow. Examples:

http://www.brainyquote.com/

http://www.quotationspage.com/quotes/

Also, they suggest a few books, but not sure how good they are.

http://www.quotationspage.com/books.php3?amp;category=quoteref

BTW, do you know if the pass-phrase used by john-users team during the
KoreLogic contest 2012 will be released? :)

I was reading the archive and appear that a person called Kevin Young has a
great job on this topic:

 "First of all I want to acknowledge the work Kevin Young did. He's another
password cracking researcher who's been investigating passphrases, (you can
see an article he was interviewed for here:
http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9227894/How_Charles_Dickens_helped_crack_your_LinkedIn_password).
I met him at Defcon and he wanted to help out,
and since he was dealing with internet connectivity issues like I was it
turned out to be easier for him to just give me his cracked passwords and
have me upload them to our server vs. him registering as another member on
our team. Pretty much all the passphrases I uploaded were ones that he had
cracked. I'm not sure about the exact hardware he used, but I'm pretty sure
it was just a laptop he had left running in his hotel room."

Do you know if he is releasing his pass-phrase lists and tricks? :)

Thanks.
