This is scary...
Many sites rely on the md5 algorithm to secure their users' passwords. Well, there's this site that allows you to
decrypt md5 hashes. That's right, you can decrypt passwords with this tool! Could this be the end of md5?
To put this into perspective: this site relies on database of md5 hashes but they keep indexing random strings. Passwords with up to three characters or five numbers can be decrypted with ease. My guess is that if I were to check back in a few months, you could decrypt just about any password with up to five characters. And that's creepy. Before you know it, you can decrypt any password using their md5 decryptor...
