not exactly. you know there is also an stdin-mode. so we have wordlist-mode and stdin-mode. we should mention that on wiki maybe. the wordlist-mode has some advantages. 1. it can fully parse the keyspace at startup and therefore calculate an ETA. 2. it does not block the user-input device - in wordlist-mode the stdin is used for user-input and therefore the user can send commands to pause/resume.
