I dug up a little info for this reply to someone... Can anyone provide some more input on the problems with MD5

Not sure if this is what you are refering to, but ....

I have seen several online databases that have it so you can enter a MD5 hash in the search field, and within a second or two you get the original text. Some of the databases are not perfect (as in incomplete, but never wrong), but they have produced amazing results when I throw in MD5 hashes from password files and the such. Do a search on google for "MD5 cracker" and notice the online database ones. Keep in mind all these things are not brute forcing, but instead are just searching through a massive database of precompiled hash & plain text results.
