RainbowCrack is a general propose implementation of Philippe Oechslin's faster
|
|
time-memory trade-off technique.
|
|
|
|
In short, the RainbowCrack tool is a hash cracker. A traditional brute force
|
|
cracker tries all possible plaintexts one by one in cracking time. It is time
|
|
consuming to break complex passwords this way. The idea of time-memory trade-off
|
|
is to do all cracking time computation in advance and store the result in files
|
|
so called "rainbow table". It does take a long time to precompute the tables.
|
|
But once the one time precomputation is finished, a time-memory trade-off
|
|
cracker can be hundreds of times faster than a brute force cracker, with the
|
|
help of precomputed tables.
