+Ophcrack is a free Windows password cracker based on rainbow tables.
+It is a very efficient implementation of rainbow tables done by the
+inventors of the method. It comes with a Graphical User Interface
+and runs on multiple platforms.
+
+This optionally requires qt4 for the gui, but if you do not wish to
+build the gui, you can use the command line mode; run the build script
+like this: GUI=no ./ophcrack.SlackBuild
+
+Ophcrack has a graphing function that goes with the ophcrack gui. The
+graphing function depends on the qwt package available at
+slackbuilds.org. qwt must be built with Qt4 as well by passing
+QMAKE="qmake-qt4" to qwt.SlackBuild, otherwise, the ophcrack slackbuild will
+fail with qwt Qt3 bindings. To enable the graphing function run the
+build script like this: GRAPH=yes ./ophcrack.SlackBiuld
+
+Ophcrack tables can be found at
