Description Manuel Lanctot 2004-03-26 17:35:04 UTC

This project has the goal to prove that two different strings CAN generate the same MD5 message digest, therefor making it useless (or at least unsecure). More technical info on the website. 
There's already a (small) Gentoo team.

This ebuild works for me. I would like to see it in portage.

md5crk project is ending (a collision was found). (http://www.md5crk.com/)
I think this bug can be closed.
