Openbullet This Config Does Not Support The Provided Wordlist Type _verified_ (FULL • 2024)

Quick explanation

This OpenBullet error means the config (the attack script or module) expects a specific wordlist format/type (e.g., plain usernames, username:password pairs, or JSON) but the wordlist you loaded uses a different format. OpenBullet validates the wordlist type against what the config declares and refuses to run when they don’t match.

✅ Step 3 – Compare

Ask: Does my wordlist match the config’s expected type?

3. Change Wordlist Type in OpenBullet (If Config Allows Multiple Types)

  • Some configs support both combos and wordlists.
    In OpenBullet 1, click on the config → “Change Wordlist Type” → select correct one.
    ⚠️ This only works if the config was built with multiple types enabled.

🔧 Solution 2 – Convert Your Wordlist

Use a tool or script to reformat your wordlist.

Example A: Convert email:pass → user:pass (remove domain) Quick explanation This OpenBullet error means the config

Input: john@gmail.com:123456
Output: john:123456

Use OpenBullet’s built-in Tools > Wordlist > Replace or a simple Python script.

Example B: Convert email only → email:pass (add dummy password)

Input: john@gmail.com
Output: john@gmail.com:dummy123

Example C: Convert user:pass → email:pass (add domain) Some configs support both combos and wordlists

Input: john:123456
Output: john@gmail.com:123456

(Only if you know the domain)

What Does “Wordlist Type” Mean in OpenBullet?

OpenBullet supports different wordlist types depending on the config’s purpose:

| Wordlist Type | File Format | Example | |---------------|-------------|---------| | Combos | email:password or user:pass | john@doe.com:12345 | | Wordlist (single line) | One string per line | john.doe | | Proxies | ip:port or ip:port:user:pass | 192.168.1.1:8080 | | Capture File | Custom format (rare) | Varies | you’ll see this error.

Each OpenBullet config is built to work with one or more of these types. If you try to feed a combo config a single-word wordlist, you’ll see this error.

Includes:

  • Step-by-step debugging of the error using OpenBullet.exe --debug
  • Modifying the config’s .loli (JSON) file to change "wordlistType": 0 (0=combo, 1=list, 2=capture)
  • Example of fixing:
    Config expects combo, you have usernames.txt → Convert to combo using :passwordplaceholder or change config to list type.
