MD5 hashed passwords

Possibly going a little OT, but its on the Security front....

I've got a project to do next semester, and I'm thinking I'll lead it in a security direction - with regards users passwords.

(Now here come the answers: yeah....<giggle/>, you've got no chance, and you are having a laugh....)

Does anyone know where I can obtain some MD5 hashed passwords? Preferably reasonably recent!! (Although the likely hood is, sources are only likely to supply me with old passwords!)

I'm thinking a project along the lines of the selection of passwords, then developing software to break the passwords (or possibly use software already in existence) recording the results.


Cheers,

Ben
