Is md5 decryption possible? [duplicate]

Answer 1

No, it's not possible in general. MD5 is not an encryption algorithm. Multiple strings map to the same hash. It's impossible to know which of these strings is the "correct" one.

You can however try to use an online database to find a string that gives the correct hash:

• Reverse MD5 hash lookup

Answer 2

It cannot be done. But perhaps some reverse-MD5 indexes have your data, coincidentally. Try this:

• http://md5.gromweb.com/

Answer 3

Brute force. Not ideal but if you have a general idea of what the string might be, it could work.

Answer 4

md5 is a hashing technique. You cannot decrypt it back.Hashing means, once you are converted it to a encrypted code, you cannot go back! But you can still compare the md5 encrypted value with the another md5 encrypted value to check matches (mostly in the case of password verification and all!)
