Subject: Re: source of information for John's charset files
I understand right that the list rockyou which you used had duplicate
words for example 2x word example in it. My question is what is the
reason or advantage of using such wordlist with duplicates in comparison
with wordlist with no duplicates? If I create one .pot file from the
rockyou with no duplicates would it provide worse probability in finding
the password during same time as yours?
