yeah but if something insane like a super computer has generated it then god help a home pc...

i think it takes like 2weeks high cpu usage ona 2ghz p4 to decifer a 5 letter md5 password, or so scott was saying..

Actually, it only takes <1 minute to decode the 5-letter md5 password on my supercomputer.

AFAIK md5 hashes are impossible to decrypt, and also now that vB3 is here, one md5 hash won't work on another site

Modulus division (the remainder of a division) is irreversible.

Unfortunately, I have a life and I don't hang out on forums everyday unlike some people

Every encryption & hashing algorithm has a weak point which can be exploited. I work for a security company that deals with encryption/decryption/krytology related technology and I know for a fact that MD5 hashing isn't as secure as people are taught to believe. If you still think MD5 is secure, then give me an MD5 hash and I'll give you the password in plain text. It's easy to reverse the process md5 hashing process and get the real password or a collision (different pass but same md5 hash).

That's impossible and if you are working on a sec company you should know it.

get the real password or a collision (different pass but same md5 hash)

Now here you are right, as it's a hashing algorithm you can find collisions which have the same md5 hash, but it's absolutely impossible to say if it was the original pw or not
