Rainbow tables store millions of precomputed encryptions
HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART
Why bother doing complex math to crack a code when you can just look up the answer in a giant dictionary? Rainbow tables are massive files holding millions of pre-calculated cryptographic hashes for common words. Hackers simply compare stolen data against this giant cheat sheet to reverse-engineer weak security without expending any actual computational effort.
One discovery leads to another.
