Can anyone decrypt MD5?
-
Someone's decided it will be funny to hack my Facebook. I haven't managed to hack it back, or get them to reveal their identity, but I have found the password in MD5. The password is f06390a876fc1193fdb33d60fbef0f51 can anyone decode it?

Answer:
No, your only hope is a "brute force" attack where you try common passwords/words and see if any generate this hash. Looks like the other poster has done this and not found any.

you cant decrypt md5 cos md5 aint encrypted , its a hash code you can generate an md5 code for ANYTHING, from 1 character to a whole book, to a WAV file It wll ALWAYS generate a code the same length as the one you have, only the characters in it will change If I were to send you the md5 code for a file it would be IMPOSSIBLE for you to regenerate the file from the code Its used to check that 1 file is the same as another. It aint perfect cos LOADS of things will generate the same code. But if you generate the md5 code then send it + whatever the code is for, then the person who receives it can also generate code and compare it against yours. If they are different then the file they received aint the same as the one you sent. If they are the same code its extremely unlikely that they are not the same file cos its virtually impossible to generate a fake file with exactly the same code as yours However if you know how many characters are in the password THEN generate every possible combination of characters to the same length, THEN generate the md5 code for each its likely you will get some that have the same code as the one you have. ANY of these could be the password cos they all have the same md5 code. Luckily for you there are sites that will give you lists of all "passwords" of a given length and their md5 code. (remember - for a 8 character password with mixed lower case+upper case letters+ numbers + odd characters there are something like 600million million possible passwords)

It's impossible to decode MD5. But you can go to this site: http://www.md5decrypter.com/ or here: http://www.md5decrypter.co.uk/ They have a database of MD5's, so you can check it. Though, your is not found in it. :/
