But unless you're calling all hashing algorithms bad, MD5 is no different from any other hashing algorithm, as any password or hash can be bruteforced. As long as someone is using a complex password, the chances of it getting cracked is low (just as it is with any other algorithm) and there will be no need for a salt.


If you use a GPU based decrypter or you can thread it to a cloud server, you can bruteforce MD5 and SHA-1 with 1-15 length passwords in less than a few hours (or even less...).
