Setting up own compromised password list

I upgraded to PPE Vers. 11 where the HIBP Update tool for the compromised password option is in place.

Is there a way to create an additional own list or database for compromised password? Version 9 of PPE supported a list of Hashes?

You can make your own database by creating a .txt file named ‘ntlm.txt (it is important for the .txt to be named this as the tool to create the database folder will be looking for a .txt file named ntlm.txt) with each password on its own separate line, these passwords need to be in NTLM hash format. For example:

The password entry ‘P@ssword’ needs to be in a NTLM hash: 13B29964CC2480B4EF454C59562E675C

Once you have every password entry in NTLM hash format and each one on a sperate line of the .txt file:

Compress the .txt in a .zip folder, then you can set this in HIBP Updater using Full Download, File and designating the custom .ZIP folder:

Once you have set those and the location you want to create the Database Folder in (Passwords Hash Database Folder field), click apply > Yes to the prompt and let it process. Once it processes, you should have a database folder:

Then apply it to a policy and test it for validation:
