A traditional brute force cracker try all possible +plaintexts one by one in cracking time. It is time consuming to break complex password in this way. The idea of +time-memory trade-off is to do all cracking time computation in advance and store the result in files so called +"rainbow table". It does take a long time to precompute the tables. But once the one time precomputation is +finished, a time-memory trade-off cracker can be hundreds of times faster than a brute force cracker, with the +help of precomputed tables. +</longdescription> +</pkgmetadata> |
