>partial hash won't help. narrows down? bs. wrong salt, physical hash = wasted time, misdirection.

Patriot,

Negative.

Compute a rainbow table for the IPV4 address space.

Assume "target" IP is, for example, 127.0.0.1.

Assume adversary has obtained salt.

Assume published partial hash is, for example, '6DBD4DBD3CE8875383D8A48BE80A0889'

SHA256('127.0.0.1', 'salt') = '6DBD4DBD3CE8875383D8A48BE80A088994781A976624B29B54E3218DEB6B57B8'

Partial hash will be present in rainbow table.

Only difference is that partial hash may be present more than once.

Narrows down.
