MD5 Decrypter Used to Hack Data The MD5 is an encryption method which was given by Ron Rivest.

MD stands for message digest which is the summary of the entire message that has to be sent. Message digest is also called a hash value which is calculated before the message is sent. Any message which is sent through an insecure channel needs to be encrypted at the senders and then decrypted at the receivers end. Encryption means converting the message in a format that cannot be understood by anyone who tries to hack the data. Even if an unauthorized person succeeds in gaining access to the data he will not be able to understand it because the data will be encrypted by a secret algorithm which only the receiver knows about. This way data can be transmitted secretly even through a public medium of transmission. Most of the communication that uses different transmission modes is transferred only after it has been properly encrypted. There are also methods to check whether the encryption and decryption algorithms have been used properly and what was sent is received intact or not. For message digest type of encryption a MD5 Decrypter is used to convert that data again into meaningful information. This algorithm is very fast and produces 128-bit message digests. After some initial processing, the input text is processed in 512-bit blocks. These blocks are further divided into 16 blocks of 32-bit each. This algorithm came after other four message digest algorithms, hence the name. There are some steps that are followed while encrypting data through this algorithm. First padding is added to the message to make the size 64 less than any multiple of 512. Hacking data encrypted with this algorithm is very difficult because it is a very complex algorithm. It was the goal of the creator of this algorithm to make it as complex and random as possible. The strength of this algorithm lies in the fact that no two digests created by this algorithm can ever be same. Some messages are very important and it is necessary that they are not intercepted by anyone during transit. This is one of the popular methods for encrypting data and there are many others. In spite of being a very good security algorithm, some attacks were done that bring about the weaknesses in the algorithm. There was research experiment when a person named Tom Berson found two messages that produced the same digest for two different messages. Later other experiments also proved that it is not a foolproof algorithm for encryption. A hacker can easily use a MD5 Decrypter to decrypt the message and the message no longer remains secure. This algorithm is widely used to check the integrity of the message rather than encrypting it. A more sophisticated algorithm called the secure hash algorithm was created and published in 19993 which is now used. SHA is in fact, a modified version of the MD5 algorithm. No successful attacks on SHA have been found so far.
