uber_tom Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 A waste of disk space if you ask me, i'd rather brute force, but then again i don't have to 'check' many errmm 'hashes'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite, What you talking about is brute force. A Rainbow table is a way of doing all the brute force type computations ahead of time and saving them. Which also allows you to give that data to other people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
