Thank you Royce. I did a bit more testing, I picked a word from the list (just printed the head to terminal, and picked "00000GIULIA" for testing) and found the following:
Shall I always extract the files from the archive? I've noticed that hashcat can also be fed with .gz compressed wordlists and works fine.

- using the uncompressed "weakpass_3w" I get a keyspace of 1134583776 and the candidates look like plain text and password it gets cracked.
