password cracking guide

Nice read, thanks for taking time to put it together.

I started looking into and using rainbow tables about a month ago for cracking local admin passes - you know how it goes, say to a mate i bet i can find all your user passes out, yeh right, bam there ya go :eek:

If you want a password that's resiliant to rainbow tables then use a £ or € in it somewhere, all the tables i've seen are american i guess.

I know there are other symbols not in rainbow tables but these are the easiest to type, remember and look like a E, lol. The € may or may not appear on ur keyboard buts its 'ALT & 0128'

Other characters not in standard tables = just search for 'alt characters' in google (need to get my post count up :rolleyes:)

I'm currently making my own rainbow tables to include £, should be finished in about 2 months. hehe

Good write-up. I would also put in about using plain-text.info to crack lm hashes also.

Thank you everyone for all of the praise. It is nice to know the document has been well received.

Someone else also mentioned adding plain-text.info. The next version will have a section for it.

Thanks,

Thanks for the great document

Changes from version 0.1
