I Cracked 40k Passwords Using Python. Yours Might Have Been One of Them

Using dictionary of English words to attempt cracking md5 passwords.

Saved you a click

Cracking hashes stored using a known insecure hashing method, of which a vast majority (if not all) have been cracked years ago, and making it look like something fantastic and new using some clickbait title.

Also, why use Python - just use hashcat/jtr. Makes no sense writing your own code that won't perform as well as compiled password cracking tools.

Now do it again but with a more modern password storage method, such as bcrypt, and see how far you get.
