Security Testing Hashes: MD5 SHA 256 and other Hashing and Lookup

Security Testing Hashes: MD5 SHA 256 and other Hashing and Lookup

Following the concept in the book Violent Python, I built a tool in Grails - it offers a UI for people to input word lists, which are then converted to MD5 hash and associated to each word. It also has a simply lookup form, taking an MD5 hash and performing a SQL query in the db to look for a match and return the plain text word.

This could be useful for testing your team's passwords in your test environment. Making sure that the passwords are not just straight MD5 hash, by running routine look ups of hash values in the test environment.
