wordlist not working with aircrack-ng

[mia_tech]

I downloaded two different wpa-psk wordlist from g0tm1lk site, but when I used them with aircrack-ng, it tells me that the wordlist is empty. I read the whole post, and it says that the links on the right are clean wordlist; however, something is off because aircrack thinks they are empty.... anyone tried those list? or know why the error?
here's the link to wordlist http://g0tmi1k.blogspot.com/2011/06/...wordlists.html

Try a 'less <filename>' to see if the wordlist actually contains words.
And perhaps the format of the file is corrupted, with ^M or such.

Just to check, you are extracting the wordlist first before you use aircrack with the file?

yes, the wordlist is not empty, and yes, I decompressed the whole file. One wpa list is about 13G and the other one is about 7G, and none are empty..... the post says they are clean. Meaning no html tags, no duplicate, etc; however, aircrack-ng gives error: "empty wordlist use option -w" you guys could try it, if this wordlist work with aircrack-ng, it would be a good thing as 13G should be a pretty good list.

have fun running aircrack with a 13 GB list... Thats literally gonna take days.

i think they are airolib db files . so are u using the -r in the line eg: aircrack-ng -r <wordfile>

Well that all depends on the processing power doesn't it?

Aircrack can only manage files with a max size of 2GB, so you need to split the file up into more smaller files.
See my older post here: http://www.backtrack-linux.org/forum...ist-files.html

Can you post the exact command you are using?

I've used aircrack with 5+ GB airolib database though, is it different when using a wordlist (-w) ?

I don't think they're airolib db files. I couldn't test it because my aircrack-ng install needs sqlite at compile time. However, I did split the files like someone here pointed out, and it works. It seems that the max page file on a 32 bit OS is 2G. So what I would like to do is to find a way to feed the output of the split files into aircrack-ng.

cat * | aircrack-ng -w - wpafile.cap

but instead of catting the files, which takes to long, I would like to use -stdout, so aircrack-ng takes the output as the previous command is running. How could I do that? I know there's a way to do it with john and pipe to aircrack-ng

another option would be cd into the wordlist folder separate them by ","

aircrack-ng w xaa,xab,aac,etc wpafile.cap

but again it is a long list

someone here pointed out that they are airolib db tables.... isn't airolib used to generate hash tables?... then, I would have to repeat the process for every essid.
