I installed dict from the distribution and it seems the
{american,english}.hash files are very big:
-rw-r--r-- 2 root bin 4647192 Apr 27 08:10
/usr/local/lib/american.hash
-rw-r--r-- 1 root bin 1978060 May 27 13:46
/usr/local/lib/deutsch.hash
-rw-r--r-- 2 root bin 4647192 Apr 27 08:10
/usr/local/lib/english.hash
The deutsch.hash was made from wordlists I found at the U of Kiel. Is
there a way to shrink these files?
