Cain & Abel

I have used Cain & Abel before (some years ago) for network sniffing. But today, when I wanted to try out decrypting passwords, I googled and found out that Cain & Abel can do that too. Or maybe I shouldn’t call it decrypting, because I was solving hashes. It worked great, but it takes a huge amount of time when it’s more than 6-7 characters in the password. Therefore can it be a good idea to download a rainbow table if you want to minimize the time spent “decrypting”.
