The point of rainbow tables is that you can pre-calculate them. I wrote some myself for fun, and it does take a while to build stuff up. Even if someone was dumb enough to use the same salt everywhere, once you know that you would just start brute-forcing, not building a rainbow table for the joy of searching it. (Unless you are into that like me.)

It's a fun academic exercise, but Google seems to be a better rainbow table than anyone can construct on their own. Search for hashes. The results are frightening.

  That's a lookup table, not a rainbow table, strictly speaking.
