Attached is an ebuild for rainbowcrack-1.2. Also attached is a patch to allow
the makefile to use the user's $CXXFLAGS settings.
From the rainbowcrack website:
RainbowCrack is a general propose implementation of Philippe Oechslin's
faster time-memory trade-off technique. In short, the RainbowCrack tool is a
hash cracker. While a traditional brute force cracker try all possible
plaintexts one by one in cracking time, RainbowCrack works in another way. It
precompute all possible plaintext - ciphertext pairs in advance and store them
in the file so called "rainbow table". It may take a long time to precompute
the tables, but once the one time precomputation is finished, you will always
be able to crack the ciphertext covered by the rainbow tables in seconds.
Basically it's a neato password cracker. I suggest that it's put under
app-crypt/rainbowcrack.
