wordlist-sanitizer

Remove Offensive and Profane Words from Wordlists

About

wordlist-sanitizer will create a copy of a file appended with-clean that has had a specified list of bad words removed. If the input is a directory, wordlist-sanitizer will recursively create a clone of the directory (directory names also appended with -clean) with all files inside sanitized. The default bad words list came from https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~biglou/resources/ and was prrogrammatically reduced in size (by removing redundant entries)
