Decrypt MD5 Hash

Introduction:

The most popular type of encryption for usernames, passwords and other important information is MD5. It is strong, one-way and overall, pretty secure. The only problem is, once you have encrypted so many different strings into an MD5 hash, you begin to realize how the encryption works and begin to realize a mathmatical pattern of sorts.

Due to the everyday use of this encryption, it is now very easy to decrypt an MD5 Hash. The best part is, it doesn't even require any programming.

This post will walk you through the easy step of decrypting a hash using MD5Decryption.com. I will assume you already have your MD5 hash ready and that you have opened MD5Decryption.com in your browser.

Step 1:

Actually, this should be the Finally heading! There is only one major step. Just paste the MD5 string into the text box at the bottom of the page, then choose 'Decrypt'! For this post, we'll use this hash:

5687928ebab58b39f8814dfc33cdfab1

Which decrypts to this string:

testmd5string12




After it checks the hash, it will decrypt it then display it on the screen! Your done!
