"Rainbow tables" enable malicious hackers to break the encryption protecting password files. This video shows how much more effective rainbow tables are than the "brute force" method of systematically trying to guess all possible password combinations. Hosted by Corey Nachreiner, CISSP. Produced for the WatchGuard Wire.

Nov 18, 2008 - Exellent video. But you forgot to tell that it easelly can take up to two days to generate the rainbow-table :). Alsom is it only LM hashes it can crack?

Nov 18, 2008 - The only con I personally think about rainbow tables is the fact it takes a couple days to generate a good rainbow table(s). The time eventually is worth it once you have it generated.

Nov 18, 2008 - What he typed in was probably:rcrack *.rt -f pwdump#16.txtAre you happy, script kiddie? Keep in mind it's useless since you probably don't have the rainbow tables necessary to crack your LM hashes. If you weren't dumb, you'd just look at the help option output.
