Is MD5 really that bad?
- by Col. Shrapnel
Everyone says that MD5 is "broken".
Though I have never seen a code that can show it's weakness.
So, I hope someone of local experts can prove it with simple test.
I have an MD5 hash c1e877411f5cb44d10ece283a37e1668
And a simple code to produce it
$salt="#bh35^&Res%";
$pass="***";
echo $hash=md5($salt.$pass);
So, the question is:
1. Is MD% really that bad?
2. If so, what's the pass behind the asterisks?
