The Russian MD5 Method



After reverse MD5 cracking a Quick SSL Certificate at the end of last year @theCCC even CAs are no longer safe for the weaknesses that MD5 hashes pose. The crack was done by a bunch of PS3s in one week. A more fine tuned attack was explored later with the newest of NVidia's GTX200-cards. The picture of the right here is 'my' quadcore box churning at record breaking 750+ hash Mkeys p/s on an OCLed GTX260c216. Almost doubling the previous ELCOMsoft score without any HW upgrade. The wattage drawn during the attack was almost 500W, the highest I've ever recorded on my rig that should max out @600W. Perhaps time for a powersaving Shanghai upgrade ? -must-resist-wait-'till-summer-dollar-collapse- :)

The MD5 crack software is freely avaliable for both NV/ATI and come in 32 and 64bit versions of which the 64 bits version have advantage due to the 96bit FPU and generally faster datashifting. http://3.14.by/en/md5
