The 38 Wordlist Categories Available for Download with CUPP: Complete List

CUPP provides 38 selectable wordlist categories—from language-specific lists like german and chinese to thematic collections like computer and science—hard-coded in the download_wordlist() function and accessible via the -l command-line flag.

The Common User Passwords Profiler (CUPP) includes a built-in wordlist downloader that retrieves pre-categorized dictionary files from remote repositories. When you run the download option, CUPP displays a numbered menu of 38 wordlist categories defined in cupp.py at lines 56-73 to help you quickly expand your password attack dictionaries.

How to Access the 38 CUPP Wordlist Categories

To view and download from the available categories, invoke the -l flag. This triggers the download_wordlist() function in cupp.py, which prints the numbered menu and waits for your selection.

# Launch the interactive wordlist downloader

python3 cupp.py -l

After the menu appears, enter the number corresponding to your desired category. For example, to download the computer wordlist:

> Enter number: 6

The tool then fetches the archive files defined for that category and extracts them into a local directory structure.

Complete List of the 38 Wordlist Categories

Download Process and Configuration

When you select a category number, CUPP references the dicturl variable defined in cupp.cfg to construct the download URL. The selected archives are fetched and extracted into the dictionaries/<category>/ directory relative to your working directory.

The download_wordlist() function maps each menu number to specific filenames hosted on the remote server, ensuring you receive the complete set for that category rather than a single file.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I download a specific wordlist category in CUPP?

Run python3 cupp.py -l to launch the interactive downloader. When prompted, enter the number corresponding to the category you want from the displayed menu. For example, enter 15 to download the german wordlist or 6 for the computer collection.

Where does CUPP store the downloaded wordlist files?

According to the source code implementation, CUPP extracts downloaded archives into a subdirectory named dictionaries/<category>/ within your current working directory, where <category> matches the lowercase name of the selected wordlist type.

What is the 38th option in CUPP's wordlist menu?

The 38th option is labeled "exit program" and serves as a menu control to terminate the download interface without initiating any file transfers. This leaves the actual wordlist count at 37 distinct downloadable categories.

Can I modify the source URL for the wordlist downloads?

Yes. While the download_wordlist() function in cupp.py defines the available categories, the base download URL is configured in cupp.cfg via the dicturl parameter. Changing this value redirects the downloader to a different mirror or custom repository.
