Rainbow Table

Also: precomputed hash table

A precomputed lookup of common passwords and their hashes, defeated by per-account salts.

In more detail

Instead of hashing guesses after a breach, an attacker hashes millions of likely passwords once and looks stolen fingerprints up in the result. A unique salt per account makes each hash a separate puzzle, so the table no longer helps.
