French Canada names are not typical. Here are examples: François Tremblay Marc Gagnon Diane Côté Line Dion
Francois Tremblay is the name of a goalie from Baie-Comeau.
Marc Gagnon is the name of an Olympic gold-medal winning speedskater from Chicoutimi.
There are a couple of dozen Diane Cotes from Canada on LinkedIn.
Very useful resource! I'm curious though, where did you get your Hispanic names from? Seems like they come from a database of funny, weird and probably offensive names. No one is called like that in Spanish-speaking countries, and yes, I know the names are supposed to be fake, but just comparing the Hispanic with the American ones, you can tell there's a big difference. Whether or not is intentional, it could be even…
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Once you start piling up some dependencies (vs. self-constained apps), I found homebrew more of a mess, while MacPorts more or less worked as I'd expect. The thing that drove me off Homebrew was dependency-hell with different versions of Python packages, while MacPorts pulled in the right versions of all the dependencies (it can even handle needing multiple versions of NLTK/SciPy/etc. installed in parallel, if differ…
It's possible to end up in a different circle of dependency hell with macports, where it insists on installing 10 different versions of everything at great length, when you already had a perfectly good one. If I'm not a python or perl developer, I don't want to compile many different point releases of those language ecosystems just to run some little utility scripts. And then of course everything is connected to ever…

Yes, I was about to say the same. I tried a few "Hispanic" names and they looked absolutely weird. On the other hand the notion of a "reasonable" Hispanic name can be quite broad. Names in Spain can be very different from names in Argentina (where Italian surnames are quite common) or from US (when it's not uncommon to have an English name with a Spanish last name) Not sure about that, but other name set can have the…
It's a pretty old project. I know that it's been used quite successfully plenty of times for social engineering purposes.

Edit: Doing a HN search this was posted about a year ago. That is why I probably didn't post it. Should we start submitting reposts of old stuff? I probably missed "cool tools" from years ago.
First was a female dietitian, 5'7" and pushing 200lbs. Sounds like a great dietitian. Next one had a hometown right down the road from me. Cool. She's 53 years old but her SSN starts with 180. PA's SSN range is 159 to 211, and everyone else my age has SSNs starting with 178. SSNs are assigned in-order. See the problem? Her SSN ought to be in the 160s I reckon. Next was a 70-y/o timber and logging worker. I don't beli…
Brazilian names are perfect! Names, cities, phones, etc, everything so realistic! As people are complaining of weird spanish, french, italian names, I wonder if the person who did this is brazilian.
First are cars: most tests I made produced cars that are not sold in Brazil, althought some did.
The lack of apartment or similar data in most addresses will not raise suspicion in the US, where most people live at houses, but it will surely jump to the attention of anyone looking at the database in Brazil. Not to say, it won't test most DBs properly as we commonly store apartment numbers in a dedicated column.
The English name of the companies also won't help.
