TargetLex

Cybersecurity Wordlist Generator / 2025

TargetLex is a small offensive-security style utility focused on targeted wordlist generation. Instead of producing generic passwords, it takes simple identity inputs such as a target's name, nickname, and birth date, then expands them into many realistic password candidates using combinations, symbols, reversed strings, mixed casing, and seasonal patterns.

A targeted wordlist generator built around realistic password-pattern heuristics.

The project is built as a .NET 8 command-line application in C#. It parses arguments from the terminal, generates candidate passwords through a dedicated pattern engine, removes duplicates, and writes the final list into a text file under a generated wordlists folder. What makes it interesting is the cybersecurity angle: it applies social-engineering style assumptions to create more context-aware password candidates than a random brute-force list would.

outcomes.log

  • Built a CLI utility that generates targeted password lists from personal input data
  • Implemented pattern generation for names, nicknames, dates, symbols, mixed case, and reversed strings
  • Exported deduplicated results into ready-to-use text wordlists for security testing workflows
  • Framed the tool around realistic password heuristics rather than generic random combinations
