Heya,
I've just ran into problem using hybrid attack. I've tried using --skip and --limit parameters in the same manner for both attack types, but it didn't work out since hashcat report different keyspace for each of them. This behaviour confused me because FAQ What is keyspace? clearly states following:
while when executing hashcat I get different results. As show this example.
I've tried hashcat 5.1.0 and latest beta release with the same results. Is this a bug or is FAQ outdated and what is the reasoning behind different behaviour? I did try searching some related topics on this forum without much luck.

Quote:-a 6 – number of words in wordlist
-a 7 – number of words in wordlist

Code:
$ wc -l simple.dict

$ ./hashcat.exe -a 7 --keyspace ?a?a?a?a simple.dict

$ ./hashcat.exe -a 6 --keyspace simple.dict ?a?a?a?a
