Reversing an MD5 hash (password cracking) for Coursera

Reversing an MD5 hash, well not really reversing, more like brute-forcing and comparing hash files. This is the most rudimentary way of finding out a password or some hashed text.

This is a lesson in how easy it is to crack short passwords with a limited alphabet. While this works well to crack very short passwords it is not practical as password length grows.

Made by Gino Araullo, part of the code was inspired by http://www.wa4e.com/code/crack
