This Config Does Not Support The Provided Wordlist Type — Openbullet
This error occurs in OpenBullet (OB1 or OB2) when the wordlist you've selected does not match the data types authorized within the configuration's settings.
To fix this, you must ensure the configuration is set to "allow" the specific wordlist type (e.g., Credentials ) that you are trying to use. How to Fix the Error Check Your Config Settings Navigate to the Config Manager tab and select the config you want to use. Config Settings (or "Other Options" in OB1) and find the Wordlist Type
Verify that the "Allowed Wordlist Types" list includes the type of the wordlist you are trying to run. Verify Your Wordlist Type

4. Solutions
Quick Troubleshooting Checklist
| Symptom | Likely Fix |
|---------|-------------|
| Config says “Combo” but you loaded single words | Convert to word:pass or find single-word config |
| Config says “Wordlist” but you loaded combos | Extract first part of each line |
| Error disappears but no hits | Config logic expects a specific delimiter (e.g., \t instead of :) |
| Proxies error | Load proxies in Proxy tab, not wordlist/combos |
✅ Step 3 – Compare
Ask: Does my wordlist match the config’s expected type?

A relevant academic paper covering similar errors in tooling: How attack tools (like OpenBullet
“Understanding and Detecting Credential Stuffing Attacks in the Wild”
Authors: Kurt Thomas et al. (IEEE S&P 2019)
While not explicitly about OpenBullet’s error message, it discusses:
- How attack tools (like OpenBullet, SentryMBA) handle different wordlist formats
- Misconfigurations as a primary source of failed attacks
- Why tools enforce strict type matching (to prevent data leakage or malformed requests)
Introduction
If you are seeing the error This config does not support the provided wordlist type, it means the "door" you are trying to open (the Config) requires a specific type of "key" (the Wordlist), but you are providing the wrong format.
This is a data structure issue. OpenBullet is strict about data types to prevent errors during the execution of brute-force or checking tasks.
