The doctor told me to cut down on salt.

However, I don't think that salting a hash is any simpler to program than simply swapping 2 characters within a hash string.
That was a simple method I used with PGP before I heard of salting. One or two secretely altered characters and PGP and several other kinds of text-based encryptions are effectively immunized against brute force.
So simple, a Geico Salesman can do it!
