I would hazard a guess that most apps that use a "one word per line" flat text file dictionary just suck the whole file into ram and split on the end of line marker. For example AutoIt3 has the user defined function _FileReadToArray(). If the file fits in ram it's trivial. Each array element is a line of the file. Most dictionaries I've used are less than 2 MB in size.
You haven't specified if you're using any particular software most often to access this data.-MilesAhead (May 02, 2011, 05:41 PM)

If anyone uses the terms "password cracking" or "dictionary attack" you're on your own!!-MilesAhead (May 02, 2011, 06:13 PM)
