How do the RainbowCrack tables help someone who is sitting at a login prompt on either a Unix box or a PC with a Windows OS on it? There must be tools in existance that will lock an account after, say, 10 incorrect login attempts on either of those systems.
Or is it that the RainbowCrack tables only help someone who has already hacked in (or an insider) who wants to determine the (other) passwords of the system they are already on?
