A recent breach of a popular 3rd party service has exposed a password database. The security team is evaluating the risk of the exposed passwords for the company. The password hashes are saved in the root user's home directory, /root/captured_hashes.txt. You want to attempt to hack these passwords using a rainbow table. The password requirements for your company are as follows: The password must be 12 or more characters in length. The password must include at least one uppercase and one lowercase letter. The password must have at least one of these special characters: !, ", #, $, %, &, _, ', *, or @. All passwords are encrypted using a hash algorithm of either md5 or sha1. In this lab, your task is to: Create md5 and sha1 rainbow tables using rtgen. Sort the rainbow tables using the rtsort command. Crack the hashes using rcrack command. You can run rcrack on an individual hash or run it on the hash file (/root/captured_hashes.txt). Answer the questions.
