| Jun 20, 2013 at 15:15 | comment | added | CodesInChaos | Rainbow tables apply almost equally to all unsalted hashes. Migrating to SHA1 or SHA2 would do almost nothing. The correct approach for password hashing is using a salt together with a deliberately slow password hashing function such as PBKDF2, bcrypt or scrypt. Even with fast unsalted hashes it's often cheaper to run a new GPU search compared to using a rainbow table. | |
