I should probably clarify that to say, yes you can but the fruits of your effort are going to be directly proportional to the keyspace, hashing method and plan of attack used.
For instance if you just want to check a users password against a dictionary or you want to quickly build a rainbow table it's great. However if you're trying to recover 1 specific key given 1 specific SHA256 hash, you can do it, but the sun will burn out long before you hit your target. On Wed, May 29, 2013 at 2:31 PM, S.
