keyspace for combinator - Aleksey - 06-08-2015

Hello!



Keyspace option for combinator attack ( a 1 mode) always
return number of words in biggest dictionary...is it feature or a bug?
Can somebody explain why keyspace return number of words in biggest dictionary and not just in left?
(in FAQ - https://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=frequently_asked_questions#what_is_a_keyspace)

Thanks in advance, Aleksey

New versions of oclhashcat automatically determine whether left or right is to be used as base or mod to ensure full acceleration, to avoid speed loss when the left side is too small. So it's a feature.
