I have been studying and learning about Passphrases, and how a strong, random passphrase is said to be more difficult to crack through brute force.

But with all the tools out there, like hashcat etc, which uses wordlists and dictionaries etc - how is this more secure if a wordlist compiled of random words is used against the password hash?
