[Shebang]

I never got to finishing it, so I figured I would share it. The current code only supports MD5 hashes up to 5 characters long, however making it work for all 6 hash functions I included shouldn't be too difficult.

Console.Write("Enter the hash type (MD5/SHA1/SHA256/SHA384/SHA512/RIPEMD160): ")
Dim type As String = Console.ReadLine()
Select Case type.ToLower
Case "md5"
tryMD5(hash)
End Select
Console.Read()

Here's a paste link so it's easier to see: http://hastebin.com/keyegicabo.vbs

[Love]

Nice start, hopefully someone completes it!

[Blue]

Hopefully someone will end up finishing it and complete it!

[Platinum]

Looks promising to me, I don't really have a lot of understanding on hashes so it's not for me..

[Eternity]

Looks interesting I'll look into it

[#Tiger]

thanks for this man
