Really, MD5 is Encryption and the hash I take it means that it generates a random key or something else. If you want some more information on the tools that can do it then visit www.astalavista.box.sk There are some great articles on MD5 Decryption in there.

It's not encryption (it can't be decrypted, as I understand). There is no k ey, it's a one-way mathematical function. Anybody can use it, and will get the same result with the same input. I suppose it could be brute-force att acked, but haven't heard of any successes ... perhaps because it's not desi gned to be decrypted. It's used to "exchange" keys without actually sending keys over communicati on lines during the initial handshake to set up SSL, for example. best, Chris Norloff ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- from: "Andrew Scott" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] date: Wed, 20 Feb 2002 02:24:26 +1100 ______________________________________________________________________ Get Your Own Dedicated Windows 2000 Server PIII 800 / 256 MB RAM / 40 GB HD / 20 GB MO/XFER Instant Activation · $99/Month · Free Setup http://www.pennyhost.com/redirect.cfm?adcode=coldfusionb FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
