Wordlist quality usually decrease exponentially with size. They're
usually full of garbage such as SQL injection artifacts and other stupid
things. The kids that compile them lose their self control and end up
aiming 100% for quantity instead of quality because the former is easier
to measure and boast about. No gigabyte-sized wordlist has impressed me
so far.
RockYou2021 was merely a molested collection of older wordlists, perhaps
with some entirely new *pure crap* added. IIRC it came advertised with
proud statements such as "removed all non-ASCII" as if that would be a
good thing?! :shrug: Anyway I did try it and got in the order of ZERO
new cracks.
I never heard of weakpass3A but I wouldn't even bother looking for it
unless someone I trust vouch for it. I'd be delighted to hear of some
actually good ones though.
BTW what I would really like is a *collection* of high quality wordlists
- with separate files for different languages, themes, sports, music,
car brands and so on. The ones I've seen were truly ancient and usually
only good for engligh language (eg. french, spanish or portugese
wordlists are pretty much useless if transliterated, duh!).
