Hey,
When I use the keyspace command, I run into an issue where a 5/6/7 length mask produce the same output as shown here.

On the keyspace FAQ ( https://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=fre...a_keyspace ) it reads:
In other words, hashcat's --keyspace is specifically designed to optimize distribution of work, and is not a literal representation of the total possible keyspace for a given attack.
I understand it's not a literal representation, but should the values still be different for 5,6 & 7? How can I fix this? I'm trying to write a program that distributes computing workloads and the keyspace value is important to calculate how much each machine needs to do.
Thanks
