Just to clarify Rick, the MD5 is not strictly speaking an encryption
algorithm. It's a hashing algorithm, hashes by their very nature are
intended to be one way and destructive.
There are only a finite number of possible results of the MD5 hash, which
is how people have constructed tools to

So basically MD5 is useless if you can't decrypt the value! That sucks.
I don't know about useless. Hashing is not the same as encryption.

Just for reference. Here's a pretty good article on how to hash properly.

Hashing is often done incorrectly, even if it's being salted you never want
to use the same salt across the board. Simple thing is, compute power is so
available, brute

Brute forcing MD5 hashes is really only going to work if you are still
using weak passwords to begin with and just hashing them. This then works
in exactly the same way as a brute force dictionary attack on a plain
password, except they try the hashed version of the same password.
You should
I want to know if I can decrypt passwords stored as MD5 in a SQL Server
database using the Decrypt
function? There are online tools out there that decrypt MD5 so I'm hoping
that I can do this in CF.
There are no tools that actually decrypt MD5 hashes, to the best of my
knowledge. MD5 is a

Maybe, if you're storing data you need to retrieve. Generally I use if for
data I need to compare (like passwords), then I just encrypt the values the
same way and compare the encrypted values.
