Re: anybody know good service for cracking md5?

["Anders Klixbull" <akl () experian dk>]

lol they have been useful for years son
just because YOU never found a use for them doesn't mean noone else has
:)

Uh, in the sense that they are finally becoming actually useful...

        Actually dictionary attacks seem to work quite well, especially
for common users which typically use dictionary and/or well known
passwords (such as the infamous "password").
        Another idea which seems to be cropping in, is the use of hash
tables with a list of known passwords rather then dictionary approach.
        Personally, the hash table one is quite successful, consider
that it targets password groups rather than a load of wild guesses.
        
        Cheers.

                Given enough hardware and a specified md5 hash, one
could at least
                hypothetically find an input text that generated that
hash.  However, that
                may or may not be as useful as one thinks, as you
wouldn't have control over
                what the text actually *was*.  It would suck if you were
trying to crack
                a password, and got the one that was only 14 binary
bytes long rather than
                the one that was 45 printable characters long. ;)
                
                Having said that, it would take one heck of a botnet to
brute-force an MD5 has
                in 1 or 2 days. Given 1 billion keys/second, a true
brute force of MD5 would
                take on the order of 10**22 years.  If all 140 million
zombied computers on the
                internet were trying 1 billion keys per second, that
drops it down to 10**16
                years or so - or about 10,000 times the universe has
been around already.
                
                I suspect they're actually doing a dictionary attack,
which has a good chance
                of succeeding in a day or two.
