The file contains 0 data No clue how the file was created or when it got made. Tried too see if any packages created but unfortunately I got 0 results. ``` ┌──(tjnull㉿conops)-[/] └─$ dpkg -S /0 dpkg-query: no path found matching pattern /0 ``` | ||||

Do you get this file "out of the box"? If so, how do you get your Kali, is is from the installer iso, or a VM image, or aonther way? Also, can you confirm that we're talking about Kali 2022.4? Maybe this file come from a bogus shell script. It's a common pitfall in Bash that if you do something like `if [ $err > 0 ]; then ...`, in fact you're actually redirecting $err to the file '0', the correct syntax is `if [[ $err > 0 ]]`, cf. https://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashPitfalls#A.5B.5B_.24foo_.3E_7_.5D.5D. Maybe that's what creates the file /0. |

This is fixed in wordlists 2023.1.2 - however, there is nothing in place to *remove* the current /0 if one exists. I didn't want to muck about in user's systems. |
