Subject: How to obtain hostname lists

Yes. That is the most common technique for worms and mass defacing. But 
there are docs that talk abou t selective mass penetration. For example, 
3 years ago, you could take the list of attrition defaced archive and 
create a list of hostnames with potencial victims.

A tequinique could be to read from a wordlist and then google each works 
and with help of lynx get hostnames. I want to know other choices (smarter).

Thanks for your time.
