Subject: Re: quite fast MD5 hashing implementation

Hello!

I dont see the solution here, maybe because i'm "blind" :)
a63 -= F(b64,c64,d64) + x + ac;
You can tell here the a63, if you know the "x", but the x is the part of
the right password, so if you know x, you will know something about the
password. Am i right? I hope im not and i can learn a new trick :)

Something else, i do now some research in the freebsd-md5 code, and i
see it use, of course the md5_* functions. But if you check it in the
jtr md5_std.c you will see strange values in the MD5_data_init
structure, the first 4 integer isnt the "right" value:
0xd76aa477, 0xf8fa0bcc, 0xbcdb4dd9, 0xb18b7a77

in the wikipedia, and the freebsd kernel has this values:
0xd76aa478, 0xe8c7b756, 0x242070db, 0xc1bdceee

Maybe again, i cant see something :)
