-Digests can be pre-calculated making them as easy to reverse as an ASCII code. Indeed websites like `dCode.fr`, `crackstation.net` or `hashes.com` contain large databases of pre-calculated digests also known as rainbow tables. The best way to prevent reversing hashed words is to concatenate a random string to the text. This is known as adding a salt. Another mitigation involves hashing the message several times (adding iterations). This increases the amount of computations necessary to calculate the hash.
