24 Aug 2004 Final Note

Folks, The MD5CRK (www.md5crk.com) project has closed down and is releasing their database. www.engsoc.org/~jlcooke holds GZipped images, rrd files, php and MySQL scripts for download. www.dp.cx/md5crk/explore.php contains a database browser and www.dp.cx/md5crk/database contains access to phpMyAdmin for custom queries. The Database contains all the reported work for over 170 days (trillions upon trillions of operations) of the project.

A Collision in the full MD5 hash function was found by researchers in China. Wang, Feng, Lai, and Yu published full collisions for: MD4, MD5, HAVAL-128, and RIPEMD-128 This represents on the the most substantial developments in cryptography in recent years. Using their technique, an MD5 collision can be found in a matter or hours!!! Here are the files you can use to verify their discovery: md5col.zip Because of this monumental discovery, the MD5CRK project will be ending in the next 48 hours. Thank you to everyone for your help. The entire MD5CRK database will be made available in the next 1-2 weeks. An email to the MD5CRK-Announce mailing list will be made when it is ready. At the time of the annoucment the project was processing an average of: 3,824 Million MD5 transforms per second (MegaMD5/sec) 833,575,339,613 Floating point operations per second (FLOPS) 1,285,717,941,822 Instructions per second (IPS) The project ran for a little over 170 days.
