What's this hash DB?
The insomnia hash database is a database that contains about 646 million MD5 and SHA-1 hashes and their corresponding passwords.
The hashes were generated from the combination of several large wordlists.
Welcome to 1999. What about rainbow tables?
Rainbow tables a great, no doubt. But they increase in size really fast the more characters you have in it, they can, by design not be based on a wordlist. A database system does not have this restriction, you can have much longer passwords too, albeit at the expense of not having the full iteration of all characters.
Put simply; rainbow tables are more effective for shorter passwords.
