(12PressRelease.com) Today the website http://www.hashhack.com got launched to the general public, making it easier than ever for people to crack MD5 hashes online.
The online database consists of over 21 million online md5 hashes and also uses the internet to search for the submitted hashes on a variety of websites.
Md5 hashes are used to store passwords on computer systems globally, Hashhack.com takes these hashes and converts them back into there plain text for password recovery purposes.
The site is of interest to anyone who works with cryptography or in the IT security field and we hope the site will steer people away from using the insecure MD5 algorithm.
HashHack.com is a stand alone project used to spread awareness of the weaknesses of MD5, the project is working slowly towards a full online brute force solution to completely eradicate the use of the MD5 algorithm to store passwords online.
