Beschreibung

Our users are often confused by the output from programs such as zip2john sometimes being very large (multi-gigabyte). Maybe we should identify and enhance these programs to output a message to stderr to explain to users that it's normal for the output to be very large - maybe always or maybe only when the output size is above a threshold (e.g., 1 million bytes?)
