The split command will give no screen output if it works. It will have created files in the current directory, probably names xaa, xab, xac etc. so you probably end at xbj or somewhere like that. You can force it to create files matching a specific pattern (and directory) if you choose and you might be allowed to use the --verbose flag to see it creating files.

From the commands you have shown us, I don't see where crunch1.txt comes in to it. Can you capture everything on the screen in one go from this:-

Code:
set -x                                                      # Turn on debug
ls -l ~/Documents/Wordlists/file.txt                        # Show us what the input file is (... and assuming it is below your home directory)
file ~/Documents/Wordlists/file.txt                         # Show us if it is complex or plain text
head ~/Documents/Wordlists/file.txt                         # Show us if it is complex or plain text
cd $(mktmp -d)                                              # Creates & changes to a new directory in /tmp so we know it's empty.
split --verbose -b 1000m  ~/Documents/Wordlists/file.txt    # Attempt the work
pwd ; ls -l                                                 # Show us the output
set +x                                                      # Turn on debug

If you can paste this back wrapped in CODE tags then we can see where we are.



Thanks, in advance,
Robin

zipcloak

zipcloak(1)						      General Commands Manual						       zipcloak(1)

NAME

       zipcloak - encrypt entries in a zipfile

SYNOPSIS

       zipcloak [-d] [-b path] [-h] [-v] [-L] zipfile

ARGUMENTS

       zipfile	Zipfile to encrypt entries in

OPTIONS

       -b path
       --temp-path path
	      Use the directory given by path for the temporary zip file.

       -d
       --decrypt
	      Decrypt encrypted entries (copy if given wrong password).

       -h
       --help
	      Show a short help.

       -L
       --license
	      Show software license.

       -O path
       --output-file zipfile
	      Write output to new archive zipfile, leaving original archive as is.

       -q
       --quiet
	      Quiet operation.	Suppresses some informational messages.

       -v
       --version
	      Show version information.

DESCRIPTION

       zipcloak encrypts all unencrypted entries in the zipfile.  This is the default action.

       The -d option is used to decrypt encrypted entries in the zipfile.

       zipcloak uses original zip encryption which is considered weak.

       Note:  The encryption code of this program is not copyrighted and is put in the public domain.  It was originally written in Europe and can
	      be freely distributed from any country including the U.S.A.  (Previously if this program was imported into the U.S.A, it	could  not
	      be  re-exported  from  the  U.S.A to another country.)  See the file README.CR included in the source distribution for more on this.
	      Otherwise, the Info-ZIP license applies.

EXAMPLES

       To be added.

BUGS

       Large files (> 2 GB) and large archives not yet supported.

       Split archives not yet supported.  A work around is to convert the split archive to a single-file archive using zip and then  use  zipcloak
       on the single-file archive.  If needed, the resulting archive can then be split again using zip.
