Dictionary attacks | Computer Science homework help

 

Windows stores passwords using the NT LAN Manager (NTLM) hash.  This hash is created by hashing the plain text password with the MD4 algorithm.  There is no salt used.  The lack of salt enables the use of a rainbow table to lookup passwords from their hash.   For this assignment you will create a rainbow table for a set of passwords.
