    Take a look at RainbowTables.net. The have a pretty good explaination, as well as tutorials. The technique isn't limited to NTLM. Googling will bring up a lot more information, too.

      instead of manually trying to brute force an encrypted hash, rainbow tables are a collection of hashes that can be searched through (faster than trying to brute force) to get the same result. others online say it better than i can at 8:30 in the morning...

I don't feel cool when I go there. I'm tired of seeing John Mayer's face pop up. I feel like I'm being hustled when I visit there, and I don't think their product is that great. DRM, low bit rate, etc... OiNK it existed because it filled a void of what people want."
