README

This is simply a list dangerous usernames that you can include in your project. It was inspired by this article.

It comes with a composer.json file and DangerousUserNames class for easy inclusion in PHP projects. But, since it is simply a txt file, you can use it with any platform.

Install

Via Composer:

$ composer require caseyamcl/dangerous_usernames

Or, use whatever programming language you want to open the textfile and read the contents into a list/array (one item per line).

Usage

use DangerousUserNames\DangerousUserNames;

// string[]
$dangerousNames = new DangerousUserNames();
$dangerousNames->inList('admin');       // case-insensitive
$dangerousNames->inList('ADMIN', true); // case-sensitive
