"Disk storage has increased tremendously in the past 5 years and the 
blatant insecurities in the antiquated LM hashing technique have not gone 
away; though functionality has been added to disable LM hashes, this is not 
set by default. With some help from Elcomsoft, simple flat files have been 
created that hold 
<http://www.beginningtoseethelight.org/ntsecurity/index.php#0FEB224E21024B8C>every 
combination of LM hash for letters only passwords. Jesko has coded a server 
application which allows you to access this database. Simply telnet to: 
beginningtoseethelight.no-ip.org on port 2501 and paste in a LM hash. So 
how does this differ from Rainbow tables? Well this will return a password 
100% of the time, using minimal processor power, in approximately less than 
0.2 seconds."
