The user's password, concatenated with the salt, and then encrypted.

There are very many such systems around the world, and Holly plans to steal the password files from as many as she can. The average system has 50 users in its password file.

Holly wants to create a master list of the encrypted versions of all the 100,000 passwords on her list, encrypted with all possible salt values. To create this master list, approximately how many encryptions of a password-concatenated-with-salt would Holly have to perform?
