How random is random?

Out of curiosity if the random number functions rand() and mt_rand() in PHP were really random enough I set my quadcore to work and generated 1 billion random numbers between 1 and 10 (inclusive) for each function. I could've made a small random generation script that would simply count occurances, but I thought it would be fun to use MySQL to store the values. A 45 GB database was the result.

MD5 Brute Force with PHP

Dictionary MD5 hacking was fun, but now let's do some brute force! I used part of some code I found and entered some testdata just to prove the concept.

MD5 Hacking with PHP

Although I have been working with php and thus md5 hashed passwords for loads of years I have never actually tried to break the md5 hash to see how easy (or not) it is to break it until I stumbled on a site with some examples.

I wanted to give the dictionary example a shot and modified the dictattack script so that it would keep time and show me some form of progress. (I hate software or scripts not showing me that they are actually still busy with at least something.)
