[ubuntu] [SOLVED] installing rainbowcrack

[chex_m8]

will someone walk me through installing rainbowcrack, i already have the src file downloaded. i did the make -f makefile.linux command already. now what?

[Rhubarb]

Could you please post a link to the rainbowcrack site you're referring to?
As I haven't heard of the software myself.

Please post the link, as I'm curious about the software, and have experience with compiling ophcrack (which uses rainbow tables too) for ubuntu 8.04.

Do you have build essentials installed?

Ok, the good news is that it is easy to compile.
You may want to look at ophcrack, it's really easy to use, the live cd is even easier to use.


If you want to compile rainbowcrack youself, then read on:

You'll need a few packages first, grab:

sudo aptitude install build-essential openssl libssl-dev

Download rainbowcrack-1.2-src.zip, and un-zip it to your home folder.
(and unzip rainbowcrack-1.2-src-algorithmpatch.zip to ~/rainbowcrack-1.2-src/src if you want use of md5 and other hashing stuff).

Open up a terminal, and change to the ~/rainbowcrack-1.2-src/src directory:

cd ~/rainbowcrack-1.2-src/src

Now to compile it:

make -f makefile.linux

That generates a few files for you, the important ones you need are:
charset.txt
list.txt
random_lm_alpha#1-7.hash
random_lm_alpha#1-7.plain
random_md5_loweralpha#1-7.hash
random_md5_loweralpha#1-7.plain
random_sha1_loweralpha#1-7.hash
random_sha1_loweralpha#1-7.plain
rcrack
rtdump
rtgen
rtsort

So if you like, copy those files to a new directory.
Then to use it, an example would be:

./rtgen lm alpha 1 7 0 2100 8000000 all

A good tutorial for it is here.
This program worked for me for a simple 3 character xp password I created myself solely as a test for the program.


Again, if you're wanting to use this for windows passwords, use ophcrack, it's much easier to use.

Nicely written, follow that tutorial, and try to re-build and you should be successful.
