How much storage would hashing every combo with every salt take? Is it still possible?

A rainbow table for 8 chars would be 50-100 TB. If you add a 8-byte salt to each password multiply that number with 256^8
NTLM doesn't use a salt. It's 128 bits. That's within the realm of nation states and there's at least one public sparse NTLM rainbow table. And I said, "if you have the storage," which you dishonestly ignored. Nice try, bucko. Got any more red herrings that aren't relevant?
