A massive set of rainbow tables just went public, a $600 laptop is enough, and it takes 12 hours max. This flaw has existed since 1999. Microsoft ignored it for 25 years. So Google decided to force the conversation. 🔓</p> <p>The flaw is in NTLMv1. That&rsquo;s an authentication protocol from 1993.

Cryptographers declared that dead decades ago.</p>
