On-the-fly loading of gz wordlists

[Mem5]

* changes v5.1.0 -> v6.0.0
(...)
- Support on-the-fly loading of compressed wordlists in zip and gzip format

Seen in hashcat beta 1803.

Just tried with a gz file:

Code:

$ wc -l  dic*
314'265 dic.gz
19'487'556 dic

Hashcat sees:

Code:

Dictionary cache built:
* Filename..: dic.gz
* Passwords.: 314266
* Keyspace..: 205218

Progress.........: 205218/205218 (100.00%)

Edit:

Code:

$ file dic.gz
dic.gz: gzip compressed data, last modified: Sun Apr 12 05:01:34 2020, from Unix

Looks like the file has not been unzipped?

Thanks.
