/**********
* WARNING *
**********/

The format for the rainbow tables has not yet been finalized. If you generate tables, there is a good chance you will not be able to use them with future revisions of Rainbows-And-Pwnies-Tables.

If you're looking to generate large tables, either pick another rainbow tables implementation or wait for this format to stabilize.

/**************
* DESCRIPTION *
**************/

This implementation of rainbow tables has been specifically engineered to take advantage of a few discoveries in rainbow tables. While I'm not going to go into the specifics here, a few things you should know about these tables:

    - Supports markov chains
    - Incremental construction of perfect rainbow tables, removing merges during generation.

Other features:
    - Threaded. Automatically uses all available CPUs.
    - NT, MD4 and MD5 hashes

Uses pthread (POSIX Threads). I'm not sure how Windows users will fare.

// TABLE GENERATION
rtgen -c abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz -f loweralpha5_nt.chains -l 2000 -p 5 -n 100000 -t 3 -d 200

// HASH CRACKING
rtcrack -c abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz -f loweralpha5_nt.chains -p 5 -t 3 bfd34579544f3f2faf0ece6dc4d24649

// TOOLS AVAILABLE
rtcrack  - crack a hash with existing rainbow tables
rtextend - extend an existing rainbow table to a new length
rtgen    - generate a new rainbow tables
rtinfo   - print info about a rainbow table
rtmerge  - merge two rainbow tables together
rtprint  - print the chains in a rainbow table (for debugging)
