The idea here is to create an<span> </span><a href="https://null-byte.wonderhowto.com/how-to/hack-wi-fi-creating-evil-twin-wireless-access-point-eavesdrop-data-0147919/" style="background: transparent; color: #1888e1; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">evil twin AP</a>, then De-authenticate or DOS the user from their real AP. When they re-authenticate to your fake AP with the same SSID, they will see a legitimate-looking web page that requests their password because of a "firmware upgrade." When they provide their password, you capture it and then allow them to use the evil twin as their AP, so they don't suspect a thing. Brilliant!</div>

How Rainbow Tables work

9:08 AM bethanybenz666 0

I found the creator of Rainbow Table's paper, aimed at cryptanalysts,
was pretty inaccessible considering the simplicity and elegance of
Rainbow Tables, so this is an overview of it for a layman.<br />

<hr />

Hash functions map plaintext to hashes so that you can't tell a
plaintext from its hash.<br />
<br />
<center>
<img src="http://kestas.kuliukas.com/RainbowTables/1.png" /></center>
If you want to find a given plaintext for a certain hash there are two
simple methods:<br />
- Hash each plaintext one by one, until you find the hash.<br />
- Hash each plaintext one by one, but store each generated hash in a
sorted table so that you can easily look the hash up later without
generating the hashes again<br />

Going one by one takes a very long time, and storing each hash takes an
amount of memory which simply doesn't exist (for all but the smallest of
plaintext sets). Rainbow tables are a compromise between pre-computation
and low memory usage.<br />

The key to understanding rainbow tables is understanding the
(unhelpfully named) reduction function.<br />
A hash function maps plaintexts to hashes, the reduction function maps
hashes to plaintexts.<br />
<br />
<center>
<img src="http://kestas.kuliukas.com/RainbowTables/2.png" /></center>
It's important to note that it does the reverse of a hash function
(mapping hashes to plaintexts), but it is /not/ an inverse hash
function. The whole purpose of hash functions is that inverse hash
functions can't be made. If you take the hash of a plaintext, and take
the reduction of the hash, it will not give you the original plaintext;
but some other plaintext.<br />

If the set of plaintexts is [0123456789]{6} (we want a rainbow table of
all numeric passwords of length 6), and the hashing function is MD5(), a
hash of a plaintext might be MD5("493823") ->
"222f00dc4b7f9131c89cff641d1a8c50".<br />
In this case the reduction function R() might be as simple as taking the
first six numbers from the hash; R("222f00dc4b7f9131c89cff641d1a8c50")
-> "222004".<br />
We now have generated another plaintext from the hash of the previous
plaintext, this is the purpose of the reduction function.<br />

Hashes are one-way functions, and so are reduction functions. The chains
which make up rainbow tables are chains of one way hash and reduction
functions starting at a certain plaintext, and ending at a certain hash.
A chain in a rainbow table starts with an arbitrary plaintext, hashes
it, reduces the hash to another plaintext, hashes the new plaintext, and
so on. The table only stores the starting plaintext, and the final hash
you choose to end with, and so a chain "containing" millions of hashes
can be represented with only a single starting plaintext, and a single
finishing hash.<br />
<br />
<center>
<img src="http://kestas.kuliukas.com/RainbowTables/3.png" /></center>
After generating many chains the table might look something like:<br />
iaisudhiu -> 4259cc34599c530b1e4a8f225d665802<br />
oxcvioix -> c744b1716cbf8d4dd0ff4ce31a177151<br />
9da8dasf -> 3cd696a8571a843cda453a229d741843<br />
[...]<br />
sodifo8sf -> 7ad7d6fa6bb4fd28ab98b3dd33261e8f<br />

<hr />

The chains are now ready to be used. We have a certain hash with an
unknown plaintext, and we want to check to see whether it is inside any
of the generated chains.<br />

The algorithm is:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Look for the hash in the list of final hashes, if it is there break
out of the loop.</li>
<li>If it isn't there reduce the hash into another plaintext, and hash the
new plaintext.</li>
<li>Goto the start.</li>
<li>If the hash matches one of the final hashes, the chain for which the
hash matches the final hash contains the original hash.</li>
</ul>
You can now get that chain's starting plaintext, and start hashing and
reducing it, until you come to the known hash along with its secret
plaintext.

In this way you check through the hashes in the chains, which aren't
actually stored anywhere on disk, by iterating column by column through
the table of chains, backwards from the last column in the chain, to the
starting plaintext.<br />

<hr />
If you wanted to check whether the hash exists in the last column of any 
of the chains you reduce and hash the given hash once, then check the 
generated hash against the chain end hashes.
<br />
<center>
<img src="http://kestas.kuliukas.com/RainbowTables/a1.png" /></center>
You can check the second last column by reducing and hashing twice, 
then check the generated hash against the chain end hashes.
<br />
<center>
<img src="http://kestas.kuliukas.com/RainbowTables/a2.png" /></center>
And the third is checked by reducing and hashing three times, 
then check the generated hash against the chain end hashes.
<br />
<center>
<img src="http://kestas.kuliukas.com/RainbowTables/a3.png" /></center>
Supposing
a chain ending matches the generated hash the matching chain end might
contain the hash. The starting plaintext which was stored with the ending 
hash can be reduced and hashed until the correct plaintext is found within 
the chain.
<br />
<center>
<img src="http://kestas.kuliukas.com/RainbowTables/a4.png" /></center>
<hr />

Collisions are the only problem with Rainbow Tables. Ironically
collisions are seen as a bad thing for hashing algorithms, but in the
case of Rainbow Tables a hashing algorithm which generates collisions
fairly regularly will be more secure.<br />
<br />
<center>
<img src="http://kestas.kuliukas.com/RainbowTables/5.png" /></center>
<br />
A given hash may be generated by multiple plaintexts (this is called a
collision), which is a big problem for chains because it causes chains
which start different to converge into one. Also you get loops, which
are caused when a hash is reduced to a plaintext that was hashed at a
previous point in the chain.<br />
<center>
<img src="http://kestas.kuliukas.com/RainbowTables/6.png" /></center>
Because of these collision problems there is no guarantee that there
will be a hash of a plaintext that will reduce to some other given
plaintext.<br />
If you have a simple list of hashes and corresponding plaintexts for
every plaintext in a set you will know that if you have not found the
hash in the generated hashes the plaintext that generated the hash is
not in the set.<br />
If you have a table of chains where the reduction function reduces
hashes into the set of plaintexts you could have trillions of chains
generated but you still may not have generated every plaintext in the
set you want to check. You can only say how probable it is that a table
of chains contains a certain plaintext, and this can approach 1 but will
probably never reach 1.<br />
If you have a rainbow table with 10 chains of length 100 you have hashed
1000 plaintexts, but even if there are only 100 plaintexts in the set of
desired plaintexts the 1000 hashes you have in the chains may not
contain all the desired hashes.<br />

<hr />

The way collisions are handled is what sets Rainbow Tables apart from
its predecessor which was developed in 1980.<br />

The predecessor solved the problem of certain plaintexts never being
reduced to by using many small tables. Each small table uses a different
reduction function. This doesn't solve the problem completely, but it
does help.<br />
To solve chain merges and loops each chain ended at a "distinct point";
a hash which was unique in some way, eg hashes where the first 4
characters are 0. The chains keep on going until it reaches a distinct
point. If two chains end up at the same distinct point then there has
been a collision somewhere in the chain, and one of the chains is
discarded. If a chain is generated for an unusually long time without
reaching a distinct point a loop is suspected (where a chain of hashes
ends up reducing and hashing to a previous hash in the chain).
The problem with this is that if there is a collision there is
potentially a whole branch which has to be cut off and won't make it
into the chains, and a loop will cause all the hashes which came before
the loop in the chain to be discarded.<br />
<br />
<center>
<img src="http://kestas.kuliukas.com/RainbowTables/7.png" /></center>
<br />
Also all the time spend generating that chain will be wasted, and by
ending only at distinct points you have chains of variable length. This
means that you may have to keep checking for a hash within especially
long chains long after the other chains have ended.

<hr />

Rainbow tables differ in that they don't use multiple tables with
different reduction functions, they only use one table. However in
Rainbow Tables a different reduction function is used for each column.
This way different tables with different reduction functions aren't
needed, because different reduction functions are used within the same
table. It is still unlikely that all plaintexts in the desired set will
be hashed, but the chances are higher for a given number of chains.
Chain merges are much, much rarer, because collisions have to occur on
the same column. For a chain of length l the chance of a collision
causing a merge is reduced to 1/l. Loops are also solved, because if a
hash in a chain is the same as a previous hash it won't reduce to the
same plaintext.<br />

The reason they're called Rainbow Tables is because each column uses a
different reduction function. If each reduction function was a different
color, and you have starting plaintexts at the top and final hashes at
the bottom, it would look like a rainbow (a very vertically long and
thin one).<br />
By using Rainbow Tables the only problem that remains is that you can
never be certain that the chains contain all the desired hashes, to get
higher success rates from a given Rainbow Table you have to generate
more and more chains, and get diminishing returns.<br />

<hr />

I hope by explaining the Rainbow Table I haven't made them any less 
wonderful ...<br />

<h4>
An easy way to improve on the "rainbowcrack" Rainbow Tables implementation</h4>
This section probably goes a bit beyond where a layman would be comfortable, 
but if you're interested in the practical applications of the above theory or have some 
interest in cryptography read on..<br />

The rainbowcrack application is how most people come to learn 
about Rainbow Tables, because it is the application which puts the 
theory above into code. It has been very successful, with many websites 
dedicated to generating rainbowcrack hash tables and letting users search them.<br />

However there is a pretty clear way this application could be improved, 
very easily, in the sense that the generated tables would take up a lot less
disk space, but be equally as effective for breaking hashes:<br />

Remember above that when you want to generate a certain chain 
you start from an arbitrary hash. This just means it doesn't matter where 
you choose to start from. The rainbowcrack application starts from a randomly 
generated 64-bit number. This number is then used to generate a chain which 
ultimately ends with a 128-bit hash, which is reduced to another 64-bit number.<br />

Why use a randomly generated number as the starting point? A pseudo-random 
number generator can generate a fantastic amount of seemingly random 
numbers from a single input number. Why not make a single random input number, 
and then store the index of the number which generates the pseudo-random number?<br />

So for example a cipher like RC4 is a pseudo-random number generator. Say the 
single input number (the "seed", as it's called) was 18092398. The first 64-bits the RC4
generates might give a number of "091358029384092", to start the chain off. The second 
64-bits might give a number of "123793582983480", to start the second chain off. The third
64-bits might give "1089324083486", for the third chain, and so on potentially for billions of 
chains.<br />

What is the difference between this and storing a random 64-bit number for each chain, 
as rainbowcrack does?<br />
Simply that a start-point in a rainbowcrack table must be stored as the randomly generated 64-bit 
number. A start-point using a random-number generator needs only the single input number (the "seed")
and the chain number. So when referring to the third chain in the example above, if you wanted to 
know the start point of "1089324083486", you would only need to know the "seed" number, 
and that it was the third 64-bit number generated. That's the number "18092398", and the number "3".<br />
To know the start-point for the fourth chain you only need to know the "seed" ("18092398"), and the number "4".<br />

If you have 2^64 chains (1,844,674,407,370,955,616) then it wouldn't make any difference, but 
that would be 4194304 terrabytes, far larger than any Rainbow Table ever generated. For a more 
realistic rainbow table with, say, 2^28 (268,435,456) chains you would only need a 28-bit number 
instead of storing a 64-bit number, as rainbowcrack currently does.<br />
That's an improvement from (64-bit+64-bit) per chain to (28-bit+64-bit) per chain, plus a single 64-bit 
"seed" number per table. When you're talking about millions of chains that's a very significant 
reduction of data for the same hash-breaking ability.<br />

In this example a rainbowcrack table would be 2^28 * ( 64-bit random start number + 64-bit chain-end number) (4096 MB).<br />
Using a pseudo-random number generator the table would be 2^28 * ( 
28-bit non-random start number + 64-bit chain-end number) + 64-bit 
"seed" number (3264 MB)<br />

When you scale that difference up to the huge sizes rainbowcrack tables can reach the 
savings become massive, and you end up with whole hard-disk arrays of randomly-generated 
chain-start number data that is pure waste, not to mention the bandwidth used moving the data 
around.<br />
A huge waste considering the trivial code changes.
