Actually, I have a reason why a list of PWs that the brute-force apps use would be interesting: to show people how bad their PWs typically are. "Ok, everyone, pick a creative password for the all-powerful root account. Now...let's look at a brute force list, and see how original you aren't. Wow, look, five of you picked 'iamgod' for your root PW, and here it is on the brute-force list!" However, a much better way to this would be simply snag a copy of the program. (one way, perhaps: honeypot machine, with a firewall that cuts off all net connections after it makes, say, ten outgoing ssh connections in a minute). Nick.
