md5 encryption and decryption

Question

MD5 md5a1 = System.Security.Cryptography.MD5.Create();

byte[] inputBytesa1 = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(Part11);

byte[] hasha1 = md5a1.ComputeHash(inputBytesa1);

this is my code for md5 encryption.. hoe to decrypt that..

please help me anyone..

MD5 is a hashing algorithm, not an encryption method. You cannot decrypt a hash.

Encryption Sometimes we want to encrypt the values that time we use MD5 Encryption and Decryption Here i give the code for Encryption and Decryption. passPhrase ,saltValue ,initVector this variables are the key for Encryption and Decryption public static string passPhrase = "YOUR KEY1"; public static string saltValue = "YOUR KE2"; public static string initVector = "YOUR KE3"; public static string FunForEncrypt(string objText) { int keySize = 256; int passwordIterations = 03; string hashAlgorithm = "MD5"; byte[] initVectorBytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(initVector); byte[] saltValueBytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(saltValue); byte[] plainTextBytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(objText); PasswordDeriveBytes password = new PasswordDeriveBytes ( passPhrase, saltValueBytes, hashAlgorithm, passwordIterations ); byte[] keyBytes = password.GetBytes(keySize / 8); RijndaelManaged symmetricKey = new RijndaelManaged(); symmetricKey.Mode = CipherMode.CBC; ICryptoTransform encryptor = symmetricKey.CreateEncryptor ( keyBytes, initVectorBytes ); MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream(); CryptoStream cryptoStream = new CryptoStream ( memoryStream, encryptor, CryptoStreamMode.Write ); cryptoStream.Write(plainTextBytes, 0, plainTextBytes.Length); cryptoStream.FlushFinalBlock(); byte[] cipherTextBytes = memoryStream.ToArray(); memoryStream.Close(); cryptoStream.Close(); string cipherText = Convert.ToBase64String(cipherTextBytes); cipherText = HttpUtility.UrlEncode(cipherText); return cipherText; } Decryption : this below code used to Decrypt the text public static string FunForDecrypt(string cipherText) { string plainText = ""; int keySize = 256; int passwordIterations = 03; string hashAlgorithm = "MD5"; try { cipherText = HttpUtility.UrlDecode(cipherText); byte[] initVectorBytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(initVector); byte[] saltValueBytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(saltValue); byte[] cipherTextBytes = Convert.FromBase64String(cipherText); PasswordDeriveBytes password = new PasswordDeriveBytes ( passPhrase, saltValueBytes, hashAlgorithm, passwordIterations ); byte[] keyBytes = password.GetBytes(keySize / 8); RijndaelManaged symmetricKey = new RijndaelManaged(); symmetricKey.Mode = CipherMode.CBC; ICryptoTransform decryptor = symmetricKey.CreateDecryptor ( keyBytes, initVectorBytes ); MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream(cipherTextBytes); CryptoStream cryptoStream = new CryptoStream ( memoryStream, decryptor, CryptoStreamMode.Read ); byte[] plainTextBytes = new byte[cipherTextBytes.Length]; int decryptedByteCount = cryptoStream.Read ( plainTextBytes, 0, plainTextBytes.Length ); memoryStream.Close(); cryptoStream.Close(); plainText = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(plainTextBytes, 0, decryptedByteCount); } catch (Exception ex) { plainText = ""; } return plainText; }

You can try to hash random values until you get a match (a brute force attack), but it is not guaranteed that you will find the same value. The same hash can be generated for different inputs.

ok sir.. thank you

thank you sir.. is there any other way to decrypt that same value.
