The only information regarding rainbow tables in reference to decrypting chat logs is given from like 10 posts ago. Read up a little, it contains a link to some brute force concept project.

However, rainbow tables are massive... hundreds of megabytes at the least, gigabytes normally...

The guy who first posted about using rainbow tables said his tables are 500MB big and that's just for numbers and a password length of up to 8 digits.

So that's roughly 10^8 combinations = 100.000.000 combinations (not taking in account the fact that you can also have pwds with 7 or 6 or 5, etc digits).

Now throw in the alphabet and your possible combinations for 8 characters will sky rocket up to 62^8 or 218 trillion combinations!!!

That's 2 million times the amount of the only-numerical combinations.

Rainbow tables have an unique setup so you don't need 2 million times 500MB of space. But still, the time it takes to generate those tables would be years if not decades if you try this at your own computer (assuming it is a super-fast computer).

In short, there is no rainbow table for Messenger Plus! Live logs, there is no "link" to one. And I'm afraid you wont be able to decrypt your logs.

EDIT, PS: Oh, and I even forgot to mention the fact that you now can choose between different sets of key lengths in Messenger Plus! Live. So, multiply all the time taken to generate such a table by 4 (since you can choose from 4 different key lengths to base the encryption on).
