Back in 2000 I spent a few months working on a brute force MD5 hash cracker. This was largely inspired by Distributed.Net and MD5 been how password where stored on our products at work.
After a few months I’d produced some code that had moved as much intrinsic things out of the main loop as possible.
I year later I found MDCrack, and spent some time working with Gregory to use the code. From that point on I have got the odd question asking about the code (at my old email simeon.pilgrim at alliedtelesyn.co.nz). With Google Analytics I can see it’s one of the major reasons my old blog it still getting hits.
I have just uploaded my old project onto my homepage. I updated it from a VS6.0 to VS2005 project.
At some point I intend to document it, but for now my old source available.
