"Pre-computation attacks are a somewhat new and interesting phenomenon we are starting to encounter 'in the wild' through chainsaw securityconsultants. What they do is they pre-compute all of the possible LM or NT password hashes of a given length with a given character set and burnthe pre-computed password-hash-to-password-mappings to DVD. Heck they can even submit their request to have your password hash reversed backinto a password using a web page someone has setup to do the job for you(sorry, not going to give out THAT URL here.) . . . for free!"
