Correct me if I'm wrong, but rainbow table is for popular password and character combinations yes? If my password is s0m3th1nggsup33rhard, you cant make out the string from the rainbow table.
- chrisrhoden 10y agoYou're wrong. It's not just a dictionary. While tables are generated with a cap on length and characters used that's not the same as being for popular passwords.
- Someone1234 10y agoDepends on the specific rainbow table. The ones I linked to are brute force, every single SHA1 hash for all common ascii characters up to 8 digits long. You can also download smaller rainbow tables for common passwords, dictionaries, or similar. Ultimately SHA1 is extremely fast to commute in 2016. So even if a rainbow table doesn't suit your needs, you can easily generate a new one which does, but likely you'll break a good chunk of passwords just using the "out of the box" 1-9 A-Za-z0-9 and specials rainbow tables.
