On Wednesday we released passdb a Ruby gem to search CIRT.net’s default password database.

We have decided to host our gem’s source code in GitHub (which we will be using in the future to host all our open-source contributions). Find the repository, documentation and install instructions in:

https://github.com/securityroots/passdb

Future plans for the library include adding an option to submit new entries, so the guys at CIRT.net can keep their database updated with the latest additions.

Feel free to fork and submit pull requests. If you find the library useful or have suggestions for improvements, we will love to hear about them.
