You can't use rainbow tables for WPA because the SSID is included in the hash. So the same password will result in a different key for different networks.

Ehhh. Hashcat has a mode (2501) that operates assuming the PMK is known.

Rainbow tables are fairly useless though.

Yes, but it makes possible to generate them for most popular SSIDs

So it follows there's some benefit to picking your own SSID? Nice, I wasn't aware of that.
