Can someone tell me what the advantage and disadvantages of using MD5
passwords are?

Is it just stronger encryption?

Does it make it harder to run a brute force dictionary crack on a
password file harder?

Does it require more resources if you have thousands of password
lookups going on in a short time frame?

Thanks very much for any insignt or pointers.

Scott
