Encryption 7
Could anyone give me a hint on what hash this is? I've tried MD5/dic attack… that took an hour (yes, my dictionary is 234 MB) with no results :\ and I don't feel like waiting 1.8e13 years for a brute-force attack… I'm also partway through MD4/dic and wondering where I should spend my time… any hint appreciated P.S. MD2 also a possibility?
I didn't think it was possible to reverse engineer a true md hash……. Since the only real ways to break it are to simply guess the password and run it through a md hash generator and then compare the hashes or to guess another password and cause a collision. Other then that run it through a bruteforcing program and pray its a dictionary word otherwise your're going to be waiting for many more years then you have to live (most likely).
I cannot see this being done by hand…… but then again you did beat it somehow
