The salt is different for EVERY secret. When you hash/store a new password, you randomly generate a salt for THAT password, and you store each salt & password together.
Because each salt is ~unique, the attacker must rebuild a separate dictionary for every single stored secret. That's functionally the same as having no dictionary, at all.
