/*
* This is a high-speed brute-force password cracker for MySQL hashed
* passwords. It can break an 8-character password containing any
* printable ascii characters in a matter of hours on an ordinary PC.
*
* This program is public domain. Share and enjoy.
*
* Example:
* $ gcc -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer mysqlfast.c -o mysqlfast
* $ mysqlfast 6294b50f67eda209
* Hash: 6294b50f67eda209
* Trying length 3
* Trying length 4
* Found pass: barf
*
* The MySQL password hash function could be strengthened considerably
* by:
* - making two passes over the password
* - using a bitwise rotate instead of a left shift
* - causing more arithmetic overflows
