Chloe is a forensic examiner who is currently cracking hashed passwords for a crucial mission and hopefully solve the case. She is using a lookup table used for recovering a plain text password from cipher text; it contains word list and brute-force list along with their computed hash values. Chloe Is also using a graphical generator that supports SHA1.
a. What password technique is being used?
b. What tool is Chloe using?

Rainbow tables? Not sure if that’s the best choice here.

I thought brute-force was more about trying every possible combination, so maybe it's not that one.

I practiced a question like this, and I feel like the tool could be Cain & Able, but I'm not 100% confident.

Wait, did she say she's using a graphical generator? I wonder if it's one of those fancy-schmancy ones with built-in rainbow tables. That would be a real time-saver!

Hmm, I'm not sure I agree with the use of the SHA1 generator. Isn't that algorithm a bit dated and insecure these days? Maybe she should consider using a newer, more secure hashing algorithm.
