Can you use oclHashcat to generate rainbow tables? - TheWizardofDos - 06-09-2015

Is it possible to use oclHashcat to generate hashes, without testing them against passwords? Basically just a bruteforce attack with whatever kind of hashing algorithm you want, but instead of testing them against another hash, just save them all to a file?

Thanks.

No. Nor would you want to. Rainbow tables are a thing of the past.

It's not really because I wanted to create a rainbow table, I know they're pretty much useless now, but I just wanted to know if it was possible to output the tested hashes, like a rainbow table.

A rainbow table is something very different from a list of hashes. Besides, no, you can't.

I see. Could you explain the difference to me?
