Wired's Kim Zetter, reporting from Army Pvt. Bradley Manning's first hearing on charges of leaking classified documents to Wikileaks: "Manning asked "Nathaniel Frank," believed to be Assange, about help in cracking the main password on his classified SIPRnet computer so that he could log on to it anonymously. He asked "Frank" if he had experience cracking IM NT hashes (presumably it's a mistype and he meant NTLM for the Microsoft NT LAN Manager). 'Frank' replied yes, that they had 'rainbow tables' for doing that. Manning then sent him what looked like a hash."
