No one bothers with rainbow tables anymore... Why bother with terabytes of storage when you can make billions of guesses per second, on extremely cheap commodity hardware?
- PwdRsch 14y agoThat's simply not true. Rainbow tables are still the first choice of many people trying to crack passwords, with brute force or hybrid attacks as a follow up after the common passwords have been found. It doesn't hurt that there are a lot of rainbow tables available to access for free on the Internet.
- JshWright 14y agoWell, I guess our experiences differ. Personally, I find it impractical to push many-terabyte files around, when, for a few bucks, I can effectively regenerate them in a matter of minutes.
