repositories I found a relatively simplistic C program (which I am planning on converting to C++ at a later date)
that is used to decrypt MYSQL passwords given the MYSQL hash of the password.
After looking at the code and profiling it, I believe that there are multiple areas which could be
parallelized and optimised to reduce the execution time significantly. Most of the execution time takes place in
the brute(char const*) and hash_password(unsigned long*, char const*) functions, so I will focus most of my effort
and time into those areas when the time comes to optimise them.
