MD5 Salted Hash Kracker

In an attempt to protect their work from being used for the wrong reasons, most developers implement salt based MD5 hash generation. However, it can happen that you forget the passwords you employed with certain utilities, particularly if you did not use them in a while.

MD5 Salted Hash Kracker is a program used to retrieve passwords you have previously lost or forgotten, as long as you have their salted MD5 signatures at hand. It comes bundled with an intuitive set of features.

The setup procedure does not take a long time to complete. A bit of attention is required, though, as MD5 Salted Hash Kracker offers to download and install third-party apps that it does not need to work normally, as well as to make some changes to your web browsers.

The friendly interface enables users to enter an MD5 hash, salt text and position (beginning or end), as well as to add a password dictionary file using either the file browser or drag-and-drop function.

The cracking procedure starts with the click of a button, and results show the password count, total elapsed time, cracking speed and current status. This information can be exported to an external file for further analysis and storage purposes.

The app is very low-demanding when it comes to CPU and memory, so its impact on machine performance is minimal. Cracking jobs are carried out in a reasonable interval. No error dialogs were displayed in our testing, since the tool did not freeze, crash or pop up error messages.

To sum it up, MD5 Salted Hash Kracker offers a simple solution to recovering passwords to files using MD5 hashes. There is also a portable edition available, in case you want to bypass the installers and run the tool directly from a pen drive.
