# Rockyou wordlist

The main wordlist to use in CTFs is the [rockyou.txt wordlist](https://github.com/zacheller/rockyou).

`rockyou.txt` is a list of over 14 million plaintext passwords from the 2009 RockYou hack.

The list is available on default Kali Linux installations in the `/usr/share/wordlists/` directory.
