Is it a md5 colision ?

[philsmd]

Mystery solved!
Try:

Code:

echo  -en "elec@\00"|md5sum
9a214e678ed4e501d1576326ce84b41c *-

So the string terminator \0 is included into the "search string" when the 'x rule has a length of strlen(dict_entry)+1 e.g. strlen(elec@)+1 == 6 in your case.

Code:

$ cat 2rules.rule
:
'9
$ cat dict.txt
philsmd@
$ cat md5.txt # X MASKED
