MD5 stands for “Message Digest 5 algorithm” and is a well-known cryptographic hash function.
They designed this function to make it impossible to decrypt, but today, it’s not yet the case …
With the growth of computing and storage through years, we can now use these tools to decrypt a lot of MD5 hash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As there is no reverse function to decrypt a MD5 hash, the best solutions are to use techniques like brute-force or dictionary attacks. In both case, the idea is to hash a huge number of words into MD5, and try to find a match.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this post, I’ll give you a short reminder about the MD5 hashing algorithm.
And then we’ll see how to use both methods to try to decrypt a MD5 hash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
