rainbow tables are useless (or near useless) against salted hashes (as 
used in linux) so you can forget about cracking it this way.

Out of interest, how long do you estimate it would have taken you to
generate them locally?

Also, something to consider, if you (or an attacker) have physical or remote
access, game is over anywaysirregardless of passwords.


Interesting point:  this server is a Xen-domU and although I have
access to the physical server, it is a bit more complicated to do
interrupt the boot process to get root access.


If the root-filesystem of the domU is not encrypted
you can just halt the server and mount the filesystem
in the dom0.

I am doing it on Linux.  It is actually my own password on a server
that I forgot.  I can use other means (like ssh into the machine using
public key authentication and sudo) to change the password, but I am
curious about two things: Why I could not remember it and how to use
Linux tools to crack it.

Yes I know they are huge.  But how would you use when targeting Linux
passwords? As some said on this list it does not seem practical to use
rainbow tables on Linux passwords.

Still, it's sneakier to logon with somebody elses account. And if they
retain their original password, who would suspect anything? :o

If you are not trying to break in and just testing windows passwords, then I 
assume you also have access to the real passwords and usernames.  Why don't 
you just import them into linux and test them from there.  My reasoning is 
that if john can determine the passwords relatively quickly, then the 
passwords are too weak.

I did some performance testing on john using a dual core patch vs single core 
at http://www.edwiget.name/content/view/195/27/

the open source rainbow tables are about 121GB (if my memory serves me 
correctly) and are only available via bittorrent.  I think it took me about 2 
months to download them.  http://www.antsight.com/zsl/rainbowcrack/

Also, something to consider, if you (or an attacker) have physical or remote 
access, game is over anywaysirregardless of passwords.

As far as I know, the hashes in /etc/shadow are salted, so a rainbow
table, for all possible salts and the the intended password range, would
be probably very huge.

Regular john doesn't use all of your cores for good reasons. More
information can be found from http://www.openwall.com/john/. You should
also check their wiki.

Hi,

I think you can't use rainbow tables on linux because it uses a salt
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_(cryptography) ; that's why john is using
bruteforce

Hi, 

Perhaps with rainbow crack ? 

You can seesource code for linux.  here ==>

Rainbow tables on Linux?

2008-10-23 Thread Johann Spies
Is it possible to use rainbow tables with a password cracker on Linux
like 'john'?  If so, how?  If not, is it possible with any other
password cracker on Linux?

I know about Ophcrack but it seems to be geared towards the Windows
environment.

I have John now running for 74 hours to try and crack one
password. That is on a 2xquadcore Intel server.  

By the way, I am not trying to break in.  I am testing the
effectiveness of John.

Regards
Johann
