Which capability allows Hashcat to use more than one dictionary file at the command line?

• A. Merging dictionaries into a single file before use
• B. Hashcat uses usernames and GECOS fields to guide guesses
• C. Listing each dictionary file name one after another on the command line
• D. Hashcat supports only a single dictionary at a time

Answer: (C)

Hashcat can use multiple wordlists in a single run by listing each dictionary file on the command line after the hash input. It reads words from the first file, then moves to the next, and so on, allowing you to combine several wordlists without merging them into one file. This expands coverage and is a practical way to broaden the attack surface. The other ideas don’t apply here—using user or GECOS data isn’t about dictionary files, and claiming only a single dictionary is supported is simply incorrect.
