Every heard of rainbow tables? Brute forcing MD5 is stoneage now.
Rainbow tables will only be of any use if you are looking for an arbitrary collision. If you are looking for a more specific collision (e.g. want to transfer a given cryptographic signature to some meaningful document), they won't help. -- Denis Jedig syneticon networks GbR http://syneticon.net/service/ _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
