Numeric PINs counted and sorted by frequency as they occur in the RockYou dataset.
This repository contains a bank of consecutive runs of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 numbers captured from the RockYou dataset which have potential use in approximating the popularity of PIN numbers of these lengths. For example, the cumulative frequency chart when we take each 4-digit PIN in ascending order (that is, from 0000 to 9999) looks like this:
Whereas, if we take each PIN when sorted by frequency (most frequent first) we get the following:
This data was harvested using the PIN harvester utility bundled with JumpMapper.
When it comes to PIN guessing/brute-forcing attacks this data could be potentially useful, particularly when evaluating the resilience of systems to these attacks.
This work was inspired by the DataGenetics article here and this work, which reverse-engineers relative PIN frequency from the image provided in the first article.
