fwiw, I've done a similar thing with a smaller dictionary: /usr/dict/words,
words from Phrack issues, and the telecom digest archives
( http://massis.lcs.mit.edu/telecom-archives/archives/glossaries/ ). I also
added a list of single non-word characters (!, @, #, etc) and every
combination of A-Z up from 1 to 4 bytes in length. Took a while
(this was over 2400 baud dialup), but it was fruitful.
