from bank and ask for their credit cards details. Social Engineering can be used to get
someone password, to get bank credentials or any personal information.

5. Rainbow Table
A Rainbow table is a huge pre-computed list of hashes for every possible combination
of characters. A password hash is a password that has gone through a mathematical
algorithm such as md5 and is transformed into something which is not recognizable. A
hash is a one way encryption so once a password is hashed there is no way to get the
original string from the hashed string. A very commonly used hashing algorithm to
store passwords in website databases is MD5. It is almost similar to dictionary attack,
the only difference is, in rainbow tables attack hashed characters are used as
passwords whereas in dictionary attack normal characters are used as passwords.
