Uploading Some Listfiles

Before we can perform dictionary or rule-based attacks, we need to upload some listfiles.

A "listfile" refers to any file containing a list of strings, such as a wordlist/dictionary, or a rulefile. Listfiles are separated by newlines.

tip

Phatcrack/hashcat supports uploading gzipped listfiles. This typically reduces space by 75% and speeds up IO.
