- darklajid 14y agoMD5, unsalted. On commodity hardware you can compute those blazingly fast. A brute force attack, ignoring word lists, is totally possible. That's ignoring all the resources that offer access to precomputed hashes (I don't want to call a list of MD5 hashes a rainbow table). Easy or not, passwords saved with this scheme are unprotected.
