While SecLists is a phenomenal starting point, expert bug hunters often warn against relying solely on it. Because these lists are public, many modern Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) are tuned to block the exact payloads found within them. For high-level testing, it is often recommended to use SecLists as a foundation and then augment it with custom wordlists tailored to your specific target.
:If you are testing the strength of an SSH or FTP login, you can use the username and password lists from SecLists to see if the system is vulnerable to default or weak credentials.
