Hey guys,

I have been doing a lot of research in the past few months about cryptographics and rainbow tables and i was thinking about the possibility in creating a Bionc project that would focus on trying to create perfect rainbow tables for many hashes such as md5 and Sha.

Does anyone think that a project like this could work and would anyone be interested in it?

No need to tease, Dag.

The project you had in mind was TMRL Distributed Rainbow Table Generator. It's dead.

Thanks for the info,

I did notice there was a project with similar goals that i described but it seemed to have disappeared for no real reason.

Thanks, Ageless, that's the name I could not remember... TMRL.

@Mark... Apologies for the teasing. I don't know beans about rainbow tables but if you build the project you'll surely get more than a little interest.

Its cool i always seem to make that mistake with boinc and it annoys me.

There is also a (live) SHA project:

Technically that's different, that project is trying to find flaws in the SHA hash to find a security hole, while the project I'm suggesting will be using already known methods to use with hashes
