Yes.  You can put a dictionary into the DB and then query against it.

We are using a extproc library callout to the cracklib library to =
enforce password strength.

Subject: Oracle password dictionary


Got a question about password strength. It's possible to enforce the =
complexity of a password in the password_verify_function. But is there a =
way to check an oracle pw against a dictionary at the time the pw gets =
changed (and perhaps reject the new pw)? On UX you have the ckpw tool =
where you can check against a pw dictionary.

Thanks,
