You need much smaller wordlists with unique AND useful "words" in it. Producing candidates with rules, mask and so on is the much better way.

Bad wordlists look like this:

summer23
summer25
summer26
summer41

...

Problem is: What if the password contains summer29? It's not in the wordlist and will not be found.

A rule that combines words like summer with the numbers 0-99 is much more effective, in terms of results and speed.

Many people use the famous Rockyou.txt as a wordlist and that is a good start. With ~135MB is quite handy.

Thank you all for the help!
As I imagined, it's not simple at all. I just see many ppl finding lots of hashes in a single search and I thought it would be easy.
Do you have any suggestion on how to make an effective rule?

I'm interested too. Thanks to highlight this, hope someone can help.
