Not too familiar with this stuff but doesn't the salt get appended to the word before hashing? Whats the point of the salt if you can find the input of the hash

Not too familiar with this stuff but doesn't the salt get appended to the word before hashing? Whats the point of the salt if you can find the input of the hash like this? Or does this mean that a salt was not used?
- sp332 12y agoIt looks like the MD5 matches the given one without a salt. I think the hash was taken from the malware, not a password database. In fact these are usernames, not passwords. So the malware was just using this as a quick check of a couple of usernames.
