No, because there's no way to get the hash of the account unless you have the user's password or access to the database. And hash 'hacking' was just cracking the hash and cracking is generally unreliable, so it's ineffective anyway.
How did you guys grab all of the users' hashes? That must have been one insanely insecure database.
Derp thanks.
damn bro u a hash hacker? me 2!
Ones does not simply "decrypt" (MD5) hashes. It doesn't work like that. Unless you can magically reverse engineer the hash algorithm. In which case the integrity of the algorithm sucks or you're some super genius hacker.
You typically crack the hashes - usually through rainbow tables or generic database look-ups (which was the main way it was done on Gaia back then).
actually you can decrypt md5 hash, I wouldn't have asked if the shit still worked if you couldn't.
You don't decrypt the hash. Decrypting it would take no effort and would be a completely unsecure security mechanism.
What people do is crack them. Difference between the two is decrypting is simply systematically converting the cipher back to the original format. Hashes generally aren't reversed and instead are cross-referenced with the account so plain-text isn't exposed (and other security related purposes) as that would be a security fallacy.

Again you're referring to hash cracking. Which sometimes involves minimal effort. Example being is this open source proof of concept project on Github. https://github.com/juuso/BozoCrack

I always thought of md5's like words in a dictionary, every md5 has its own definition that someone figured out.
Haha, this analogy is partially true. Only not every MD5 has a definition that could be figured out (well, technically, in theory any hash can be figured out. But in some cases [i.e. salted hashes] it could take up to forever to crack the hash).
That's what makes cracking unreliable. But there's two sides to every coin - it's also at the same time sometimes very effective. It all depends on factors like the scenario/horsepower available to you/tools/etc.
Do they still have the program where you can look through emails and find ones connected to gaia, hack the email and then reset their gaia pass?
I KNOW that method used to work, guarantee it is now obsolete.
It's a lot more complicated than that I just woke up so I sound dumb.
:p
It's obsolete now for the most part. I happen to have a program I made a couple months back that still roughly supports Yahoo emails, but there is no 100% solid method.
And it's even more obsolete because there isn't any way to get emails in the first place anymore.
