Talk:Rainbow Tables

From ChekMate Security Group

I just want to comment that I did experience issues with the web front end processing a file with a large number of user hash codes. In one attempt, I had 67 hash lines and it timed out the http request. For me to resolve this, I would likely have to make it so the script took your email address, ran the job in the background and then forwarded the results to you. This would actually work better if the rainbow tables were used by more people. We will see how it goes. To crack these passwords with the present configuration I ran the script from the command line.

As an additional item, I am quite blown away at how well these rainbow tables actually crack the passwords. While there are a couple accounts that can not be cracked, I am suprised that the rcrack actually got the plaintext passwords for the IUSR and IWAM accounts - which are computer generated passwords.
