As brought up in this thread: https://hashcat.net/forum/thread-7437.html

Keyspace program from hashcat-utils gives different results than hashcat itself.
Tested on hashcat 3.6.0, I expect it to be even worse in newer versions of hashcat.

Example:

hashcat64.exe -m 13600 ?l?l?l?l?l?l?l?d?d --keyspace -a 3
30891577600

keyspace.exe -m 13600 ?l?l?l?l?l?l?l?d?d
45697600

Hi, I just wanted to ask if there is an ETA for updated keyspace program so hashcat-keyspace could be computed easily, without OpenCL/GPU drivers present. Is it planned together with next versions of hashcat or is this bug of no importance for now?

Thank you.

I think I'll remove the keyspace tool from hashcat-utils as hashcat has --keyspace now. This way there's no need to maintain two different tools to provide the same functionality and to keep them in sync. Anyway, you do not need a GPU to run hashcat, just install the intel opencl runtime, it will work for almost all CPU (even AMD).
