AIrcrack + >2gb dict files

[wylde342]

I just tried cracking some WPA caps with cowpatty and my larger word lists...same thing...it errors out.

Is it something with my filesystem or kernel or ?

I just wanted to pop on and say that Cowpatty has no problems with the large dictionary files. While I don't mind using genpmk / Cowpatty, I'd like to know what I'm doing wrong with Aircrack?

(brute .txt is a 140gig dict)

head brute.txt (just to show it's valid)
bt sdc1 # head brute.txt
11111111
11111112
11111113
11111114
11111115
11111116
11111117
11111118
11111119
11111110


bt sdc1 # aircrack-ng -w brute.txt -a 2 -b 00:13:46:87:B1:CC wpa-01.cap

I'm actually getting the same problem as yours. I just downloaded pureh@te's 2.5GB list. Also getting the Empty Dictionary error. Does it matter of the path to the dictionary is on an XP (FAT32) partition. I'm running a USB Live Disk and don't have 2.5GB space left on my stick.

It doesn't matter where the dictionary is. What you need to do is use the split command (man split) to create two 1.25 GB files from the 2.5 GB file. Since BT3 final is coming soon the new version of aircrack might not have the 2GB filesize problem.

I wonder where wylde342 got brute.txt? Not that I would want it. I don't have have room for a file that big. Just curious.

Bro! Thanx a lot. You were absolutely right. After splitting them , I had no problems. I searched all over for a solution to this and you finally ended my frustration. I had no idea the beta version couldn't handle files larger than 2GB.
