New at testing my wifi security and not sure what format(s) can the word li st to through at the security test be in? Will it work with a .dic file? .t xt file? I see it will with a .lst or at least I think. Are there others fo rmats that can work or is just .lst the only format to test passwords? Also is there a site that shows the fern windows and what all the parts i.e . buttons mean?

I don't follow exactly what you are trying to do since you don't explicitly indicate what software you are running. However, to avoid getting hacked, just use Steve Gibson's password generator.

Well don't do that. ;-)
So you set up a secure password then try a dictionary search? Does that make sense? You are supposed to run that hacker code to test your own system, but if you set the passwords to white noise, you already know that vector has been eliminated.
In 2014, unless you don't give a s*it, you need high entropy passwords.
What if he's working for the NSA? Or, perhaps their Tailored Access Group have an 'implant' for him in their catalog. SHIELDSDOWN I guess it would be called.

Oh pla-lese!
Tell you what. Use the besafe algorithm. Oh wait, that was the one that RSA got paid to make the default.
