People here don't know what rainbow tables are. If you asked them to build a rainbow table, you'd get... a table. (You're right.)


Thank you for the contentless comment. Instead, you might consider offering a more interesting algorithm, its tradeoffs, and why it is beneficial to take more computation time?


A rainbow table doesn't store every hash for the password space it's built for. I'm sure you already knew that, but decided to pretend otherwise when calculating the size of one.
