MD5CRK is een nieuw distributed-computing project waarmee men probeert aan te tonen dat de MD5 hash als beveiliging niet meer geschikt is. Het project team geeft de volgende beschrijving mee:
This project aims to find collisions in outputs of the MD5 hash algorithm using distributed computing (or a "Chinese Lottery", as mentioned in the previous story). The project will be considered successful if major crypto vendors - and developers in general - move away from the MD5 standard. MD5CRK is a unique distributed attack in that it attacks one of the most actively used crypto-related algorithm and will provide loads of data for crypto research. Other related projects only seek to decrypt a string of characters specifically encrypted to be attacked.[break]Men is druk bezig met de ontwikkeling van deze client. Men heeft versie 1.0.2 sinds kort beschikbaar gesteld met het volgende changelog:[/break]Client v1.0.2 released. No critical flaws.
Fixes include:[break]De volgende downloads staan klaar:
- "X86SSE2ALU4 restart, no path6" flaw.
- "UserInfo bad formatting" flaw.
- Benign, non-critical, non-network, please-don't-worry configuration file related buffer overflow when proxy setting expresses with colon charactor.
- "Old Pentium crash" flaw.
