This is a very exciting introduction!
Welcome to the awesome website of me, Jamie Chalker. I'm a computer enthusiast who creates open source applications in my spare time. I'm especially interested in Computer and Network security, there's just something about tinkering with exploited bytes that tickles my fancy a notch.
Find Me That Guy!
A new application I'm developing is one very akin the authority's use to match email addresses to a full name and a home address. In a wrapped up piece of text, the application builds a database of information based on what the web matches with that email address. It then uses a spider-web to match the best probability and then runs the information through a reversed phone directory hence giving a (likely) match of home address. The application has been 80% proven, and in the future, hope to have a working model.
MD5 Bruteforcing (Benchmarked)
I finally had a chance to benchmark my computer with cracking MD5 Encryption. For you non-savvy ones, this is a (exploited) one-way 128-bit encryption algorithm that's widely used in applications around the world. Some hash's can take computers up to years to complete the decryption process, but I was able to decrypt "jamie1" from an MD5 Hash to ascii (plaintext) in around ~2 minutes @ 136.5m/Hashes per second.
~ md5.exe -h d5db288812bd0d2b61c910d16c68350e -c 0a -min_len 4
The above command executes the application, declares the hash, then uses the character set (Numbers, and Lower-case letters), and then -min_len sets the minimum character length of the password. This is useful because some targets generally don't allow their password under 4 characters, but of course this can be changed by using this declaration.
