Let me ask you a question, who posts on multiple forums and uses the same password? Everone right?
I will ask you a second question who uses the same password for their email account or even shock horror their Internet banking? No-One I hope!

Everyone who knows encryption, knows a simple dictionary attack on an MD5 hash will crack a simple password. I mean even I could create a database of a billion easy passwords and sort it by MD5 hash key but why bother? Google is doing it right now! This is a hack that was posted on slash dot a month ago so it is not new. But I feel it is my duty to alert you to this issue in which someone who is less than a script kiddie could seriously burn you.

The following is a program (not a demo or sample as ruled out in the licence agreement of the MD5 code owner) that will check your password and alert you if it is on Google. Do yourself a favour and check your password and if necessary give yourself a new one for 2008.

Happy new Year Fellow VisualBasicScript members.

This is a HTA Script, copy the code and paste into a file with extention HTA
