A rainbow table is a precomputed lookup table used in cryptography for storing password hashes. It is used for recovering a password-based on its hash value.
A rainbow table attack is a technique wherein a rainbow hash table is used to crack the passwords stored in a database or some other system.
Download the files needed (and some sample hashes and passwords) with the following command:
git clone https://github.com/tinnytintin10/rainbow
You'll need Node.js to run the script; you can download Node.js here.
To run the script you will need to install it's dependencies, execute the following command to do so:
npm install
You can now run the script 🎉
You will need to specify two parameters for it to work:
-p- file containing newline delimited passwords-h- file containing newline delimited hashes
To run the script with the sample provided, execute the following command:
node rainbow.js -p sample/10-million-password-list-top-1000000.txt -h sample/passwordHashes.txt
enjoy :)
