For non lan manager hashes this would require a tremendouse amount of
disk space (tera to peta bytes). Every password can have a large number
of salts (the exact number depends of the type of hash i.e. md5,
sha-1,etc).
So let's say you have a UNIX system using the older crypt then you would
have 4096 salts that are possible per password. So for every clear text
version of a password you would have to store 4096 different salts. I
have an English dictionary I use with JtR so 411,563 words.. Then I use
rules mode and that number jumps to 15,773,164 (171MB). Now times that
by 4096 salts and you get 64,606,879,744 variations (700+ TB).
For Windows if your looking at the lanman hashes (not nt hashes) then
they only have one salt so it would be possible to generate a table on
common words and variations for only a couple hundred megabytes.
You should also read the teracrack article.
