How do I patch for larger wordlists?

[Mike9876]

Hi, I am on a Kali Linux 2019.1a 64-bit Live USB 128GB with Persistance. My normal OS is Windows 10 Pro. My question is...How do I patch Kali to allow larger wordlists? Bigger than rockyou? I have crackstation. I read to try this script below but I don't know where to put it. So how do I use large wordlists (15GB)? Here's the script. Please reply. Thanks

split -l MAX_LENGTH --additional-suffix=".lst" words.lst words_

for user in words_*.lst
do
for pass in words_*.lst
do
hydra [[options] ...] -L "${user}" -P "${pass}" [[args] ...]
done
done
rm -v words_*.lst

What do you mean by patch to allow larger wordlists? What is the problem exactly?

From my point of view, wordlists can be any size, the only limitation is the tool you're using (but most tools should be able to handle them without any problem regardless of the size).

Hi, thanks for your reply. I've had problems with crackstation on Burp and Hydra. The only one I can get to work is rockyou.txt. I will have to try again since this is a new USB persistance. In the past I used VMware with Windows 10 Host. Burp freezes and Hydra gives an error the it can only have 50,xxx passwords. You have no problems with large lists on Kali? That'd be nice. What tools do you use? I will try again and report back. I read about patching online. Maybe I don't need it.

Has anyone heard of splitting? Another Forum suggested that.

If a tool freeze, check for the obvious: does it have enough memory? You can try increasing the amount of RAM allocated to the VM and switching to 64 bit could potentially help.
