BozoCrack is a depressingly effective MD5 password hash cracker with almost zero CPU/GPU load. Instead of rainbow tables, dictionaries, or brute force, BozoCrack simply finds the plaintext password … via Google.

Specifically, it Googles the MD5 hash and hopes the plaintext appears somewhere on the first page of results.

It works way better than it ever should.

Clever.
