TL;DR: Use the regular ones unless you really need speed.
Summary: most of the hashcat-utils use fgetl (a wrapper around fgets) so for speed I ported them to use atom's fgets_sse2.
Benefits....Speed I guess. Some benchmarks are available on the link at the bottom of this post. Not all tools become faster as the bottleneck is not always fgets...
Drawbacks: They don't handle \r correctly at all. For example, "mp64 -i ?d?d?d | len 1 2" will show 0-9 using the windows binary of mp64 but probably works fine under linux.
Some tools are also totally broken. rli and rli2 are such tools. Unfortunately I do not have enough understanding of C to fix them.
Some data also is handled very oddly. enwik8 is one such example...
It seems to work just fine with wordlists though so no worries there.
combinator is also missing. It does not use fgets last I remember.
Extras: I wrote a line-count tool which is equivalent to "wc -l". It's faster than cygwin's "wc -l" on large files last I remember. I also wrote a catf tool which should work just as well as cat.
I also increased LEN_MAX on splitlen to 55.
Not sure if this will really help anyone. Feel free to edit the source. My command of C is not that great...
