Tristan Gamilis writes "Rainbow Tables are well and good, but for those of us with single cores and less than 10 years to sit and wait for them to generate, they are more than a little beyond reach.

Enter Free Rainbow Tables.com
Nearing their first Terabyte of tables, and all for free — No strings attached.

The tables are generated by their community using DistrRTgen, a distributed Rainbow Tables Generator. Breaking tables down into parts, the program then assigns the parts to the many users running the DistrRTgen client. The parts are completed and uploaded back to the server where they are compiled, compressed, and made available for download to anyone and everyone with a hash that needs cracking.

Progress can be followed, as well as User Stats.

The site is currently focusing on NTLM tables to give Windows Vista a warm welcome!"

Or perhaps The Pirate Bay, despite being one of the largest bit torrent trackers in the world, isn't really as powerful as its supporters would like to believe. That, at least, is the impression given by one of the founders in this interview. The plans for a copyright-free nation have been scaled down considerably: "We have $20,000 and we are looking at some alternatives. Really we just want somewhere we can name The Pirate Bay, so we can look on Google Maps and find ourselves there.""
