Webpage doing a google search for you password's MD5 hash #7

This helps to tell you if your password is an easy target to rainbow dictionary attacks.

If Google returns 0 results for a search for the MD5, it's a good assumption that it's an uncommon password.

Simple and bright idea. :+1:

Started something at rainbowed. Google's free 100 queries limit is a drag though…

sunny commented 11 years ago

Any ideas on how to bypass Google's 100 queries to make this into a useable little online service? Perhaps using another search engine?

The DuckDuckGO API looks to have no limitations..

Seems that it's an API just for the "Instant Answer" part (Wikipedia, Wikia, Crunchbase, GitHub, WikiHow, The Free Dictionary, …), not from their Google results.

hmm, so sad :/

Bing has a free JSON API. That could be a better starting point.
