The MD5 algorithm is a one-way hash function, it’s not reversible, so there is no way to decrypt a MD5 hash “automatically”. However, current technologies allow us to use different strategies to crack MD5 hashes and find the original word. Using a rainbow table is one of them, and that’s what I’ll introduce in this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A rainbow table is a pre-generated file that is optimized for fast password cracking. It contains all the words like a dictionary, but also the hash equivalent. They take more disk space but are faster to use than other attack methods.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In this article, we’ll see what why it’s a good strategy, how it works and how you can generate them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
