FPGA MD5 Cracker

Posted November 9, 2011 by Chris

“For my Digital Systems Laboratory (ECE 385) at the University of Illinois I had to do a final project using a field-programmable gate array (FPGA). My partner and I designed a hardware implementation of the MD5 algorithm and used it to crack MD5 password hashes. A FPGA allows you to prototype digital circuits by utilizing a hardware description language such as VHDL.”
