Problem
The scanner crashes when encountering keys with
listpackencoding:This occurs when scanning Redis 7.0+ instances, as the tool doesn't recognize the newer
listpackencoding type.Solution
Added support for the
listpackencoding type inredis_types.py:- Added
REDIS_ENCODING_ID_LISTPACK = 9constant- Added
b'listpack': REDIS_ENCODING_ID_LISTPACKmapping toREDIS_ENCODING_STR_TO_ID_LIB- Included it in
REDIS_ENCODING_ID_ALLlistBackground
listpackis a more memory-efficient encoding introduced in Redis 7.0 as a replacement forziplistin certain data structures (hashes, sorted sets, and streams).Testing
Tested against Redis 7.0+ instance with keys using listpack encoding. The scanner now completes successfully without errors.
