He might have access to precomputed password hashes in a database. For example, you create a massive password list and compute all the hashes, save them in a database, why would you compute these hashes and throw away the results each time. You might just say &quot;select plain_text from results where hash = &apos;27934e96d90d06818674b98bec7230fa&apos;;&quot;. Just a guess though.</text><parent_chain><item><author>xal</author><text>&amp;#62; The hash - 27934e96d90d06818674b98bec7230fa - was resolved to the plain text password 900gage!@# by Bestuzhev.&lt;p&gt;What?
