PyBozoCrack 3 is a depressingly effective MD5 password hash cracker with almost zero CPU/GPU load written in Python 3. Instead of rainbow tables, dictionaries, or brute force, PyBozoCrack simply *finds* the plaintext password. Specifically, it googles the MD5 hash and hopes the plaintext appears somewhere on the first page of results.

* Free software: BSD license

It works way better than it ever should. Go ahead and try.

How?

----

Basic usage:

   **$ pybozocrack -f my_md5_hashes.txt**

Or:

    **$ pybozocrack -s fcf1eed8596699624167416a1e7e122e**

The input file has no specified format. BozoCrack automatically picks up strings that look like MD5 hashes. A single line shouldn't contain more than one hash.

Example with output:

    **$ pybozocrack -f example.txt**

    

        Loaded 5 unique hashes

    **$ pybozocrack -s fcf1eed8596699624167416a1e7e122e**

Why?

----

To show just how bad an idea it is to use plain MD5 as a password hashing mechanism. Honestly, if the passwords can be cracked with *this software*, there are no excuses.
