Waraxe IT Security Portal

Hey Waraxe I would appreciate it if you could chime in here:

I've started thinking more and more about what people use for their passwords, so I wrote a few programs of my own to harvest some of my better ideas, and they have been successful so far in my cracking. I actually really enjoy this as a hobby.

I've used so far:
-Common first names
-Common last names
-Common english words
-Common foreign words
-Common keyboard combinations (made this myself)

But I want to know what would make this list better. I have a few password lists that I downloaded and are pretty okay, but I want to optimize it even more.

*Note: I usually run these words through my program with both string permutations and adding numbers on the back/front.

Any ideas as to where else I can turn to to get good passwords?

Yes, I do like so: whenever I find a password, I write it down both in a combolist user:pass and in a wordlist (just the pass). This works greatly.
