How To Crack An MD5 Hash!

Hello HF, Today I will be teaching you how to crack a MD5 Hash.

In case you did not already know, MD5 is not an encryption, and therefore cannot be decrypted, only cracked.

Firstly you need to download this software called 'Password Pro'. It's in a .zip file you you should be prepared. Then extract everything into a folder.

DOWNLOAD HERE!

Virus Total: https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/b7210...395432174/

NOTE: There are 5 flags on virus total, I believe these to be false positives, however if you don't want to download this version of the program I'm sure you can find it somewhere else! 👍

It should look like this once you have extracted this:

For the purpose of this tutorial, I will be cracking this hash: "6dcd0f272fbb7f6f8ff3a8a5e96c45aa:Ws)", which is formatted as "Hash:Salt", and is from VBulletin 4.x.x.

Open up notepad, paste in the Hash and salt, and save it anywhere on your computer, preferably in the same folder as Password Pro:

Open up Password Pro and go to "File->Import":

Find the place where you saved the text file with the hash inside of it, and open it.
Fill in the boxes as such:

Note:
The bottom is the formatting of the hash and salt in the text file, and the top is the algorithm for VBulletin 4.x

Now, go to "Audit->Preliminary Attack"
(For this hash, as it is simple, it should probably crack it with just this.):

Hit the start button, and watch it go:

If, in the case that a Preliminary Attack does not work, just repeat the previous steps with a Rainbow Attack (If you have a Rainbow Table), a Simple Dictionary Attack, or a Brute Force Attack.

Hope I helped!🎉

Wow, OP, you tutorial sucks and md5decrypter.co.uk cracks md5 instantly. VIA rainbow tables if you must know.

stop wasting my harddrive space.

This is what I used and made work, this is a tutorial for beginners. If you don't like it that's fine but you don't have to be a douche.

Can this Crack multiple hashes at once?

I'm not sure, I've never tried. 😶

You could always use Hashcat or OclHashcat/CUDAHashcat. Not hard at all, supports all kinds of hashes, MD5 included. Supports multiple hashes at once. Even supports all kinds of salting configurations.

That's true too. Like I said this is a tutorial for beginners. 🎉
