Memory error about mkbrutus HOT 2 OPEN

Hi Peter!
Apologies for my late response, I was on holidays.
Good advice, but the point is that MKBRUTUS wasn't made to run on small
devices but computers with a reasonable amount of RAM. I was running
rockyou.txt of more than 150 MB without problems.
But yeap, it's a good idea to run the tool from a small device, like a
small router or a Raspberry Pi. I'll take into account in future releases.

Thanks a lot for the feedback!
cheers

I was running brutus on my router with 200mb of free ram, no swap. With
130Mb rockyou.txt
It might be usefull to make it read big dicts in chunks to prevent the
crushes.
