v0.1.0-beta2 Pre-release
Pre-release

Python hashlib.sha1 is a one-way hashing function that produces a hash object from a plain password string and stores it in the password table.
It is virtually impossible to revert it to the original plain password. So, why is it hackable?
First, the hashed length is 40 characters long. It takes less time to filter through hundreds of thousands of lines in the Rainbow Tables to compare the hashed object. Once, a match is found, the corresponding plain text in the Rainbow Table is indeed the PASSWORD.
