SHA1 and SHA512 are completely different, I'd like to see anyone here decrypt a 512-bit encryption of any kind, especially since it basically a hash-type encryption and has no way to decrypt it.
However, rainbow tables used in programs such as Ophcrack ( which btw can be run on any Linux distro as a program, it doesn't have to be used from boot ).
And your 'tools' section is ironically small, you need some sort of progrm that can be used for more than what it can, which leaves the ever so famous ( and greatly favoured ) network tool that has been 'round since the dawn of computer cracking, netcat. And NMap is included in in BackTrack for obvious reasons: Network MAP. Simple, very efficient port scanning and serious host/packet redirection cannot be messed with.
But your knowledge is wonderfully on track and I admire your wisdom, also your use of "I'm not trying to start a fight" makes good sense, this is a forum and we should use it for intellectual thinking and speaking.
