Friday, October 28. 2005Reverse MD5 Search Aggregator
While md5 is a fairly strong hashing algorithm, even with the best algorithm weak passwords based on dictionary words and/or their variants can be easily compromised. There are a few sites on the net that have built searchable databases of "weak" password allowing quick strength checks of md5 hashes. But, each one of those databases has different set of hashes and a different database size, making a "complete" search rather difficult. So, I've come up with a little aggregator script that gathers information from 5 different (tell me if you know of others) sources and offers the resolved data on a single page, thus giving you a fast response from a cumulative database.
The script can be downloaded from here, http://ilia.ws/uploads/hash.php.txt It is released under BSD license, so anyone is free to use it. Friday, October 28. 2005PHP 5.1.0RC4 is out!
he fourth and final release candidate of PHP 5.1.0 is now available for testing. You can download the source packages from here:
http://downloads.php.net/ilia/php-5.1.0RC4.tar.bz2 4afd68f8e4fe532cea83f30bd2ff26f5 http://downloads.php.net/ilia/php-5.1.0RC4.tar.gz 679a0d12b8cb00c55d56621ea9609013 The Windows binaries will be available shortly from http://downloads.php.net/ilia/ as well. In the past two weeks a great deal of effort was put by a number of developers towards stabilization of the 5.1 branch with over 20 bug fixes made during this period alone. Based on our own tests (those wacky phpt files) and those made by QA team and related projects, 5.1 is ready for production. Pending discovery of any critical issues such as crashes, security faults and regressions I intend to release 5.1 final no later then November 10th. In the meantime I'd like to ask all PHP users to test their code against PHP 5.1 to ensure that no critical issues have been missed. Our own testing methodology while quite extensive does not cover all areas of the code and your help is needed to located any non-yet discovered defects. If you (I hope that you won't) do discover any issues please report them via http://bugs.php.net. |
