I'm wondering if theres a alternative to rainbow tables. Im trying to crack the hash in the "other challenges" section, but I currently don't have access to a system with enough ram or space to download or run a rainbow table.
Also, if there is a alternative, what would be the time difference? I don't mind a couple hours to leave it running, but any more than a day and i'd rather just wait till I get access to a faster computer.

use rainbow tables only if other methods fail, or as an alternative to bruteforcing. Get a good dictionary and use JtR for ditionary attack, or use one of the many online databases.
Also there are online crackers (milw0rm) and I think I've seen even online crackers based on rainbow tables., but again for this hash dictionary attack should do in hours if not minutes

Yeah I don't think i'll use an online service to do this, like you said I really wouldn't learn much.
I know a bit of python, but i'm not sure it's enough to be able to write a cracker.
Anyways, I'll do some research on those topics and see if I can manage to make a cracker (I've been looking for something to program recently anyways)
Thanks

and he doesn't learn much from using an online cracker now does he? (to OP: I forgot to mention, read up on MD5 too.)
And yes, there is a site cracking hashes using Rainbow tables, I think it's http://www.plain-text.info
It's not very effective unless you have a lot of data stored locally, I think it's preferable to try other methods then downloading loads of rainbow tables...
You are right about the second one though, my bad, for this challenge it's not exactly appropriate.
And I'd advise using perl only if you actually want to learn how to make a simple bruteforcer/cracker, it's fairly quick, but very resource wasteful, and you have much faster alternatives available
Also thanks for the link 
@OP: good luck, everything else necessary has been already said

I usually start making a simple dictionary attack on it, and at the same time check it with some online tools. Simple googling will do the trick. And if that doesn't work, I'll start bruteforcing (for a reasonable amount of time). If that doesn't do, then it's not worth it.

I would call your statement is invalid.
Well, I didn't say what a reasonable amount of time was, did I?

Active machines - 1539
Doesnt look dead to me... Used it many times to crack md5 hashes.
*edit* - just read the news, my apologies, it is down. Looks like im gonna need to find another way to get those damn hashes cracked

Fritzo suggested http://www.plain-text.info/, tried it and seems to work quite well...

Umm... you shouldn't need a rainbow table to crack any hashes in other challenges. I believe i've only had to use gdataonline.com/seekhash or milw0rms cracker. And JTR, didn't even have to load wordlist or anything. just ~$ john pass.txt (<-file with hash in it.

Yeah, and prepare to wait for a long time for the computer to crack the hash, and provided the computer is powerful enough. Brilliant advice.

Ummm... dude. It took about 1 minute.
Edit: Its not the best choice for cracking hashes, but works just fine for the other challenge.
