@RobertKern

- Teacher has taught us nothing about MD5. This being the script he wanted
us to write came as a surprise to everyone but complaints about projects
are constantly ignored. This particular teacher is complained about for
this reason every year but nothing ever changes.


This is my code. I hope it looks better? I'm sorry if it doesn't. I'm
trying to get the hang of posting by email :)

[code] import sys, re, hashlib

def dict_attack():
    hashes =3D raw_input('\nPlease specify hash value: ')
    chklength(hashes)

def chklength(hashes):
    if len(hashes) !=3D 32:
        print '[-] Improper length for md5 hash.'
        sys.exit(1)


wordlist =3D open('C:/dictionary.txt')
try:
    words =3D wordlist
except(IOError):
    print "[-] Error: Check your  path.\n"
    sys.exit(1)

words =3D open('C:/dictionary.txt')
print "\n",len(words),"words loaded=85" (This line now throws up an error
where it wasn't before: TypeError: object of type 'file' has no len()

for word in words:
    hash =3D hashlib.md5(word[:-1])
    value =3D hash.hexdigest()

if hashes =3D=3D value:
    print "[+] Password is:"+word,"\n"
    sys.exit(0)


print('\n1 =96 Dictionary Check')
print('2 =96 Exit')
selection =3D raw_input('\nSelect an option from above: ')
sys.stdout.flush()

if selection =3D=3D "1":
    dict_attack()
    pass
elif selection =3D=3D "2":
    sys.exit(0)[/code]


print "\n",len(words),"words loaded=85" (This line now throws up an error
where it wasn't before: TypeError: object of type 'file' has no len()
 - I'm guessing this is because it's not picking up my file but I can't see
why it shouldn't?
