Probable-Wordlists : These lists are sorted by probability, based on real-world password datasets. The error you're seeing may be referencing a file from this family. The v2 collection has approximately passwords. Its Top12Thousand-probable-v2.txt and other files are designed to try common passwords first for faster results.
And in the verbose logs, we’d see:
Instead of just using a flat text file, pass your wordlist through a mutation engine like Hashcat or John the Ripper using rules. Rules automatically append numbers, swap characters for leetspeak (e.g., changing e to 3 ), and capitalize letters.
Before changing your wordlists, ensure the target application is still responding correctly to your tool. Want to dive deeper

Use a rule file (e.g., -r /usr/share/hashcat/rules/best64.rule ) to mutate the words in your current list. 4. Change Attack Mode "You've turned my mistake into literature," he said
