Cracking a 30-digit hash (MD5) - apzbot - 04-27-2025
Good afternoon, dear forum participants.
Is it possible to use hashcat to crack a hash using a mask consisting of 30 digits, and if so, how to do it?
Might have to use rainbow tables?
In any case, I will be glad of any help in this matter.

A 5090 does 216e9 MD5 hashes per second.
So a 10^30 MD5 would take 10^11 years to crack. Just a little bit longer than the age of the universe....

If Moore's law holds, then all you need to do is build a time machine, travel to 2080 buy NVidia's latest offering, and bring it back. You'll probably need to plug it in to your 1.21 GW power supply, but with that unit, it'll only take a year to crack.

I didn't expect dehashing to be so difficult... 😅
Because the string contains only numbers from 0 to 9, and in fact the number of digits in the encoded string is slightly less than 30.
