Question on word lists - chroniclex - 09-10-2014

I'm thinking of stacking a lot of word lists i find on the web.

In other words. Will having multiple word lists with the same passwords take longer?
Does it make sense to stack a lot of word lists?

yes what you will want to do run sort -u list > list.sorted.

As for the the stacking of them its a better idea to have smaller lists with more rulesets

Okay, so will that command not check words that have already been checked?
And i'm not sure where to enter that command, sorry i'm new.

It is a linux command. What is does is orders your wordlist and removes duplicates.
