Crack Passwords with Rainbow Tables

The video tutorial explains the concept of brute force attacks and introduces rainbow tables as a more efficient method for password cracking. It details the process of generating rainbow tables using the RT Jenn tool, including selecting hashing algorithms and character sets. The tutorial also covers the parameters involved in creating rainbow tables, such as reduction functions and chain lengths. Finally, it demonstrates how to create, sort, and use rainbow tables to crack hashes quickly and effectively.
