i face a problem which is , i can not decrypt MD5 Encrypted passward . can u any one solve my problem . i give My MD5 code ( ad8b00dce6fda06fa4b5d8ce33c33865 ) . which method apply for this MD5 please tell
MD5 is not an encryption code. It is a hashing algorithm. It is one way. The way MD5 works if you are using it to validate your passwords is to compare the stored password with the created MD5 code. If you want to discuss this further please PM me so we can figure out exactly what you are trying to do for this.
Yes, MD5 and SHA1 are hashes which cannot be reversed. You hash a string that a user provides. If his hash matches the hash in the database, the password or string is a match, if not no match. There's no reasonable way to figure out what the original string was. The only method would be to compare the hash against a hash or rainbow table, which is basically a huge database of known hashes. This will only work if the hash was not salted, which means an additional amount of code is added to the original string to change the end hash. Salting makes hash tables worthless.
If you're programming something and want to check for a match, you will rehash the password, and see if the hashes match. You won't decode the hash and try to match the unhashed values. That is, if that was your problem in the first place. -Rhett.
