Queue Wordsmith, a tool that creates wordlists that are tailored to the target. Based on the target's U.S. State, Wordsmith creates geo-location based wordlists that contains the names of cities, landmarks, roads, sports teams, zip codes, area codes, popular names and more. Generated wordlists can be used by themselves or as a supplement to other wordlists for brute force attacks or hash cracking.

Tom (@porterhau5) is a penetration tester by trade, however his roots are on the blue team writing netflow analytics and providing network situational awareness. Tom holds a handful of certifications from SANS (GPEN, GCIH, GCIA), as well as degrees in Mathematics and CS. When there's not a baseball game nearby, he can be found scripting, participating in CTFs, dissecting packets, tinkering in his homelab, performing password analysis, or chasing high IBUs.
