Introduction
--------------------------------
RainbowCrack is a general propose implementation of Philippe Oechslin's faster
time-memory trade-off technique.
It cracks hashes with rainbow tables.

Version History
--------------------------------
Changes in version 1.7
- Most of the source code is reviewed and rewritten for better robustness,
scalability and performance
- NVIDIA GPUs with compute capability 6.* supported

Changes in version 1.6.1

- NVIDIA GPUs with compute capability 5.* supported
- NVIDIA GPUs with compute capability 1.* no longer supported

Changes in version 1.6

- Support GPU acceleration with AMD GPUs (OpenCL technology)
- Improved performance of NVIDIA GPU acceleration (CUDA technology)

Changes in version 1.5

- Support 64-bit Windows operating systems
- Support 32-bit Linux operating systems (x86 only)
- Support 64-bit Linux operating systems (x86_64 only)
- Support rainbow table file larger than 2 GB

Changes in version 1.4.1

- Improved performance of rcrack and rcrack_gui program

Changes in version 1.4

- New compact rainbow table file format (.rtc) reduce rainbow table size by 50% to
56.25%
- New rt2rtc utility convert rainbow table from raw file format (.rt) to compact
file format (.rtc)
- New rtc2rt utility convert rainbow table from compact file format (.rtc) to raw
file format (.rt)
- The rcrack/rcrack_cuda program support both .rt and .rtc rainbow table file
format
- Conversion from non-perfect to perfect rainbow table is supported by rt2rtc
utility

Changes in version 1.3

- Multicore processor support
Earlier versions will only use one core on a multicore processor system.
- Overlapped harddisk read and computation
 RainbowCrack 1.3 can do computation and load rainbow tables from harddisk
concurrently.
- Improved hash algorithm performance of NTLM and MD5
- Fully backward compatible with existing rainbow tables generated by earlier
versions of RainbowCrack
RainbowCrack 1.3 use same rainbow table format as earlier versions.
- Other enhancements

Changes in version 1.2

- Multiple hash algorithms support
- Configurable plaintext length
- LanManager password case correction

Changes in version 1.1

- Custom charset support

Changes in version 1.0.1

- Bugfix

Changes in version 1.0

- Initial release
