A wordlist is a text file containing a list of words, phrases, and common passwords that can be used to guess a user's password.

If that fails, introduce best64.rule or one-rule-to-rule-them-all.rule .
If you want to modify the words in your probable wordlist using rules (like capitalizing letters or adding numbers to the end), do not use Mode 1. Use Mode 0 combined with a rule file ( -r ).
Thus, the message “did not contain password exclusive” is a reality check: your target has moved beyond low-hanging fruit.
