Comment on Why reset passwords for salted hash leaks?

Comments

Assuming salts are not reused they negate rainbow tables but you can still crack the passwords it just takes much longer as you have to crack each one individually [1]. This can be done faster by renting hashcat farms or spending a lot of money on hashcat rigs yourself. Not all hashes may be salted correctly. [2]
