how to use larger wordlists

[donald.m]

one thing i have noticed is that the only way i can enter the correct path and have aircrack effectively crack a WPA encrypted network is to place the wordlist in the /root/Desktop/ folder. however, when running bt4 (or bt3) from the livecd, i only have about 2GB available disk space. the problem is that, if i am using a wordlist that is greater than 2gb, i simply can't use it. is there a way that i can use a wordlist stored on a thumb drive or on my native HDD and make aircrack able to utilize the wordlist?

thanks,
donald.

Yes, you put the correct path to the wordlist in the command.

Why would you need such a big wordlist at all?

Maybe this has changed in newer versions but I thought aircrack was limited to 2GB files.

As was mentioned you just have to give the comand the path to the file, on my computer it looks like this ->
aircrack-ng -w /mnt/sdb1/webster-dictionary.txt -b aa:aa:aa:aa:aa:aa crackfile*.cap

Now I have a question I lost my password dictionary and am trying to get it back I was using the 11 meg text file from the Church of Wifi, it had 1 million very common passwords in it. Unfortunatly I would have to download the 34 gig pre salted file to get my hands on the 11 meg file, does anyone know where I can just get the 11 meg text file as my eeepc is the 8 gig hdd version so downloading 34 gigs is not an option.
