Even those reversal sites don't reverse correctly. One thing the sites/apps do is to randomly guess words and md5 hash them and then compare with the md5 the attacker wants to decrypt.

Also, I just cited md5 as an example of a one-way hash, I know the banks card service providers won't be so stupid to be using a hash known to everyone to encrypt a card pin.

I'm sure the card issuers are using a stronger and private hash that obviously nobody knows / can ever decrypt.

The PIN is stored in the card which is an hardware on its own so the hash will most likely be in bytes code not normal text characters like md5 hash and as such will be difficult to guess or dehash.

I'm perfectly sure it's a one-way hash.

You will also need a card reading hardware like a pos kind of machine to decrypt it not a software like this fake genius thief and ignorant media insinuated, and being a byte code encryption, there's a 99.99% chance that attacker will never get it right except he's a god.
Dude, then Hackers are gods. Flame malware would easily crack a Md5 in a matter of seconds. In fact, Md5 is now considered cryptographically useless. It has loads of Flaws that can be easily attacked by brute force attack. I doubt he was lying when he said he used a software.

While the module called Flame does the brute attack, the Boost module gathers the info, transport module replicates and euphoria leaks the info.

Just make your research on Flame malware

Hi,
First of all I didn't imply that the card providers are using md5, I only mentioned that they are using a one-way hash which can't be decrypted and I cited md5 as an example of a one-way hash.
There are a lot of encryption technologies, you can even create one yourself which I'm sure is what the ATM card manufacturers do..

So tell me how you expect a hacker to Crack an algorithm he has no idea of? And pin number is not a static variable like CVV2 which cannot be changed. You can always change pin anytime.

If the guy said he has a software that can generate CVV2 (the 3 digit at the back of your card) I may not doubt the possibility, since CVV2 is a permanent variable on a card, there might be an algorithm connecting CVV2 to the card number itself.

But he said he can generate a card PIN which is a dynamic variable that can be changed at anytime by the card owner. An algorithm can only be created on a static variable ( a variable that cannot be changed). If possible how will the software know you've changed your pin? It will have to connect to a service to determine, in this case which service is the software connecting to?

And like I later said, the PIN is stored in the card,
The card is an hardware that can only be read by an hardware not a software.

Despite the high level of impossibility of achieving the said feat, if he had said he used a card reading hardware (like POS) I would've believed a little.

He got a chance in life, instead he used to buy blings
What exactly are you saying. So this is what you call a chance in life? May God have mercy on this generation of 'get rich through any means'

It is fairly possible if he used a Card Reading device which works with certain PIN Harvesting software.

In terms of the Card PIN, maybe the media could be wrong OR i may flaw his CLAIMS in saying he "generated" a PIN but with a Card Reader Hardware and the correct software installed with a knowledgeable programmer, it might not be impossible to find the existing MD5 Hash in the Debit card and decrypt it.

Remember that what ever is built, can also be pulled down. If a system or facility is responsible for encrypting PINS in a card, they must be another which can decrypt it. That is why the phrase "Reverse Engineering" exists!

Nobody's asking how he got his boss phone PUK number

There is no software that can uncover an ATM Card PIN.
What might have happened was that the boss had given him the PIN at a time to help him make withdrawals.

Even if there was a software, what service will it connect to get the pin? Mastercard? Visa? Or where? Even your bank cannot know your pin because it's encrypted right in the card.
And it uses a one-way hash, like md5 (which can only be encrypted on input) and can never be decrypted back.

Moreso if he were to have made an online transaction where only the card CVV2 is required, the online merchant will still send the card owner a confirmation code by SMS of which he doesn't even have the owner's phone at hand.

Again If he's so smart to ever have such software it means he will have a direct connection to a private data storage of Mastercard , Visa and other card providers which in turn means he won't even need to steal cards to get money. !

There are one thousand and one smarter ways to steal electronically without getting caught, he just added that "software" line so everyone will think he's one kind of genius that needs to be explored.
Thanks for the highlight and info.I kept wondering!!!!

People should ask the lecturer how he came about millions in his account? Let him show us the TAX returns that confirms how he got the money and that it was all duly declared. Abi how much is the salary of a lecturer?
my tots exactly

my dear many lecturers has more than 10m.books written are often translated into many languages and sold across the globe including ireke onibudo.
