Reversing is important in one particular aspect that I can think of. That is: seeing if your current protection scheme/algorithm/trick is good. eg. What if I use MD5 for all my passwords in a website and then discover too late that people can break it in a matter of seconds? That would be disasterous. So instead I learn all about the reversing techniques and then try them for myself to see if I am putting my data at risk.

If MD5 really is easy to break then it is important to discover that and change to a different (and hopefully stronger) algorithm.

Besides, if my understanding is correct, then the process of reverse engineering is NOT illegal in MOST (not all) countries, it is usually what you do with the results that may make what you did illegal.

i am not against reverse engineering at all, hell i got my coding 'career' started by programming game cheats/hacks but usually the license provided with the program specifies that it isn't to be re, so it would be illegal

In our (Slovak) law license can't forbid you something that law does allow. And if license forbids you something like that, then that part of licensce isn't valid. So you *can* reverse engineer in Slovakia ("to preserve compatibility"), i got that confirmed from lawyer who was co-creating these laws in our country Smile

No, I am not too good for you...

I am exactly like everybody else arround here, and I guess that everybody can be like me with very little but honest and passionate efforts.

Here is something that I would really like to see reverse engineered, thats the direct assembly code of GPUs. All that FPU power only acessible trough drivers and use mostly for games...

for md5 cracking, if you want check it..

http://www.hashchecker.com



# Checking md5 1 - 7 length plain text which is prepearing charlist 1.
charlist 1 - [abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789] - 99.99%

# We are now checking md5 1 - 8 length plain text which is prepearing charlist 2.
charlist 2 - [abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789] - [ 1 - 8 character ] - 98.50% (will be 99.9%)


# Prepearing [ md5 ]
charlist 3 - [0123456789] [ 1 - 12 character]
charlist 4 - [abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz] [ 9 - 9 character ]

I don't understand. What is the point of that site?

There are a lot of good things about some types of cracking, and a lot of bad things about other types. There is good cracking, bad cracking, and sometimes-good-sometimes-bad cracking. What is NOT good is to break into someones computer, steal files, put viruses on their computer, etc. This we all know. What vid is trying to point out is that there are good types of cracking, such as cracking in order to learn. In fact, breaking into someones computer could even be good, so long as you do no damage. You could even leave a note that their computer is vulnerable.

There are also types of cracking that can be either good or bad, depending on how you do them. As mentioned above, breaking into someone's computer may be good or bad. Cracking into shareware/demo software to avoid paying the licensing fee is wrong, but doing it simply to learn, so long as you don't share how you did it with anyone (except to let them learn too) is OK with me.

btw, some Czech guy already beaten MD5 - he can create collision in half of minute (if you haven't heard yet)

here is more information about this topic:

http://cryptography.hyperlink.cz/MD5_collisions.html

but, from what i understand it's not possible to calculate a collision without having enough input bytes, as passwords are seldomly as long as files.
or am i wrong?
