Possibility for a workaround keyspace-calculation? reason inside

[Chick3nman]

Code:

mp64.exe --combinations ?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a (24*?a)
11007294638326990593
BUT
hahscat fails on
hashcat --keyspace -a 3 ?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a (10*?a)
Integer overflow detected in keyspace of mask: ?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a

yeah i/we can feed hashcat from stdin with maskprocessor but is there a workaround to bypass this keyspace calculation problem?

This is not a problem. Your keyspace at the bottom there exceeds the size of a unsigned 32 bit integer, meaning hashcat is unable to store the keyspace in the format we have chosen for it. We COULD bump it up to 64 bit everywhere needed, though it would be a good bit of work i would think, but doing so makes no sense anyways. A keyspace as large as ?a*10 is very very rare to even be feasible, much less something you should ever be running. ?a*24 could not be completed in our fastest algorithm with all the computers on earth. It makes little sense to try and load keyspaces that large so for now, we have left the keyspace value limited to its current size.
