Free Rainbow Tables Looking For New Admin

lee writes "After almost three years online, the admin of Free Rainbow Tables has decided to call it a day, citing a lack of time to keep it running. (I'm sure that you all know a rainbow table is essentially a giant list of precomputed hashes.) This is a shame, as the site is a useful resource for those occasions when you really need an existing password exposed, rather than simply changing it. I'm a Windows admin, and this site has come in very handy in the past. The currently computed tables weigh in at well over half a terabyte, are available as torrents from the site, or from a couple of mirrors (and alternatives are available). When the site was active, it featured a downloadable BOINC client to put your idle cycles to work computing ever-greater tables, and a space-saving format for storing the tables. The admin is willing to hand over source code if you wish to take over, though I suspect hosting is not included!"

The headline 'Free Rainbow Tables' makes you immediately think of a table covered in Skittles

Billy Mays here for Free Rainbow Tables dotcom. Have you ever needed a giant list of pre-computed hashes? Have you ever forgotten the password to that old Linux box sitting in the corner of the accounting department's coat closet? Then have I got just the thing for you! All you need to do is, and this part's amazing, is go to freerainbowtables.com, that's freerainbowtables.com, enter your hash-string, and voila, there's your password. It's so easy, a paraplegic blind deaf-mute could do it. That's Freerainbowtables.com.

I'm Billy Mays, and I say, if you don't use this product, the 5th spawn of the Great Satan himself will come to your house and rape your cat....a lot.
