Could anyone tell me the differences between the hashcat executables in version .42? Which are named the following:
hashcat-cli64.bin hashcat-cliAVX.bin hashcat-cliXOP.bin
Thanks!

They depend on which processor-specific features you want to use:
standard instructions, Advanced Vector Extensions, or eXtended OPerations instructions.
Be sure your processor can support the mode you are trying to use.

if you have a recent (current generation) CPU you should be able to use AVX if on Intel, or XOP if on AMD. check your processor flags (e.g. grep xop /proc/cpuinfo)
