Hello,

I'd first like to thank everyone who responded to my RainbowCrack questions,
great suggestions and helped greatly! I gott'a say, this list has given the
best responses to a question than any other list I've subscribed!!

Would someone please remind me of the name of the program used to take a
list of words and hashes them into a pre-computed hash table to be used in
one of the password crackers like LC5 or one of the others? I've seen/have
many of the hash creators that will build a table from a row of characters
but I need to use it for a list of words. I really can not remember the
name.

Thanks again!

Tony

One word: "pirated software".
ok, so it's two words ;-)

I've seen enough cases where the evildoers were using lophtcrack or
the various commercial software/hardware keystroke loggers that you
can buy. Most of the time it's pirated stuff, but why not use the best
you can get/steal when you're a criminal?
I'd say the "others" should be informed of both risks, and need to be
reminded that "most likely" does not really mean anything. I wouldn't
step on a plane that would "most likely" not crash..
