Hi all

I'm not sure is this the right place to post this, other places are strongly oriented to the real programming. However...

I know some MD5 hashes contains only numbers or letters, but I don't know which one. Some string X gives only letters in the hash, Y gives only numbers.

Do you know which strings give those hashes?

No.

By the way, wtf is up with the advertisement in this thread?

"Trying to Encrypt Your DB with MD5? ******* already does it. Try now!"

WTF.

Edit: But you can surely find one.

Since you're talking about a hash that outputs 32 characters (in hexadecimal, which presumably is what you're talking about), each character has a 5/8 chance of being a decimal digit and a 3/8 chance of being a letter.

That means there's a (5/8)^32 chance of them all being decimal digits.

Which means it will take on average 1/(5/8)^32 guesses to get such a hash, which is easily small enough for a computer to brute force.

Finding a hash with just letters is about 8 million times harder than that.

Well, 3,5 million guesses isn't so much.

How should I brute force that?

This byte sequence (in hex) resulted in an MD5 hash of 68 96 55 13 90 19 02 12 35 06 45 31 90 73 51 46
