Decrypt a hashed string

A simple Encrypting and Decrypting Example

[quote=168687:@Kem Tekinay]They are very clever, but if you start with the notion that hashes can’t be “decrypted”, what they did is transparent.

Do this: Start with Xojo and generate an MD5 hash on some long, obscure text, then go to that site and attempt to “reverse” it. Your attempt will most likely fail.

Now go to the page on that site that generates hashes and generate the hash for the same text. Then go and try to “decrypt” that text again. Ta DA! Suddenly it can do it.

I would stay away from that site.[/quote]

Yes be careful not to provide any real passwords to be generated. If you do, you have just provided them a new hash key for the rainbow table

We should get that spam removed.

I got a better idea : force the guy to publish the Xojo code on his site. He’s already got VB, it should not be too difficult to use Xojo’s crypto class to do better :wink:
