By the early 1900s, four of these five species had gone extinct because of human influences – mainly habitat destruction, introduced mammalian predators, and introduced diseases. Way back when the Polynesians first colonized Hawai’i, each of the five largest islands harbored its own evolutionarily distinct species of O’o. This mystery singer was a male Kaua’i O’o, recorded in the late 1970s in the remote Alakai Swamp high atop the Hawai’ian island of Kaua’i. Overall, though, the song struck me as distinctly melancholy. As the song progressed, I sensed a vaguely jazz-like beat.
Some of these short whistles turned upward like quizzical questions others stroked emphatically downward.
The song was an odd series of liquid-sounding syllables, produced in halting cadence with frequent long pauses between the notes. I’ve even described several bird species whose existence – and songs – were previously unknown to science. This was highly unusual: I have been entranced by bird songs since I was five years old and have conducted research in some of the world’s most diverse bird communities. The 100 most common passwords are listed in a separate section these may not be used as passwords.Two decades ago, I heard a bird sound that changed my life. They are not duplicated here for space and because Wikipedia:Password strength requirements currently uses the number 10,000, but checking them would not be a terrible idea. Lists of the top 100,000 and 1,000,000 passwords are also available from the OWASP project.
It may also be useful to browse the file to see how secure-looking a completely insecure password can appear. To use this list you can do a search within your browser (control-F or command-F) to see whether your password comes up, without transmitting your information over the Internet. "experienced" at 9975 and "doom" at 9983) hint this may not be a sorted list. The passwords were listed in a numerical order, but the blocks of entries and positions of some simpler entries (e.g. It represents the top 10,000 passwords from a list of 10 million compiled by Mark Burnett for other specific attribution see the readme file.
The OWASP project publishes its SecList software content as CC-by-SA 3.0 this page takes no position on whether the list data is subject to database copyright or public domain. This particular list originates from the OWASP SecLists Project ( ) and is copied from its content on GitHub ( ) to link it more conveniently from Wikipedia. The passwords may then be tried against any account online that can be linked to the first, to test for passwords reused on other sites. Usually passwords are not tried one-by-one against a system's secure server online instead a hacker might manage to gain access to a shadowed password file protected by a one-way encryption algorithm, then test each entry in a file like this to see whether its encrypted form matches what the server has on record. A hacker can use or generate files like this, which may readily be compiled from breaches of sites such as Ashley Madison. If your password is on this list of 10,000 most common passwords, you need a new password.
