Rainbow tables do not exist for randomised salts.
- flexd 15y agoErr, now I feel (more) stupid. Anyway my point being those passwords are not exactly the strongest.
- meric 15y agoBut if the salt is global and its value is "1", it might.
- rmccue 15y agoThe $1$ part of the hash is purely to indicate that MD5 was the encryption algorithm used. The salt used is the first 12 characters, so from "$1$" to the next "$" For example, for "$1$JVf3ep..$uvo634QwxDsAuHMOZlKws1:riprip" the salt is "$1$JVf3ep..$" (although those periods may just be padding, IIRC).
- meric 15y agoAhh. I misunderstood. Thanks.
