Note Submitter: has been thinking dot com ---- I think rainbow tables are useful if the hackers managed to grab a user name and md5 hashed password from a particular server run that trough their rainbow table and get the original value. then use that in all databases that they want. now if that server uses a different type of salt. that password will not match that user name's hashed password on other servers. because the one that was unhashed was salted. that is if the hacker is planning to use log-in forms. after infiltrating a server by force.
