What does that mean?
- TrapLord_Rhodo 2y agoThey are kinda trolling, Kinda not. A rainbow table is just a huge list of precomputed passwords to hash. MD5 hash of "pass": 1a1dc91c907325c69271ddf0c944bc72 SHA-1 hash of "pass": d74db87a56f6d8a52ca4bbafc86a27f4b66c58a4 SHA-256 hash of "pass": 3f5d8cc9ea971f85b91fe9a761e29f882abeae92e4b99b5678f7bf3f53b1519f but if you add "salt" to the password, (i.g. some randomly generated data), your password will be deterministically unqiue, and thus a rainbow table wouldn't ever work. The infrared and ultraviolet part is pure troll tho.
