I do not agree that it doesn't work very well. How will you reverse a salt with sufficient entropy? Imagine the salt is a 512 bit hex, the data is a nine decimal digit SSN, the generated hash is 512 bits of which the first 160 bits are used as the value. Now exactly how is the salt not good enough?
