HELP, CRC32

I need someone skills here

if i got a CRC32 of $44AA4E6A

and i next a text string that crc32's to that
using only numbers and letters

how can i work it backwards?

if someone knows how, can they post some text...

thanks!

Hey.....

That's my line.

all these string CRC32=BB55B195

CRC32 is NOT a one-way HASH like MD5...etc...

I ofcourse googled!!!

i found the reversing... but was still at losss

I wrote a small vb ap, to randomly generate text strings
and CRC32 them...

figuring id get one soon.

it ran for 20 hours, nadda

FiNALSErAPH, can you make me a string for my crc32?

CRC32 = 44AA4E6A

20 hours? Are you sure your algorithm (or the random generator) is correct?

Long time ago, I wrote a bruteforcer for CRC32 (even before I calculated how to compute it directly ) - and on Pentium 3 1.5 GHz is takes slighly over a minute to check the 2^32 possibilities.
It generates binary data (not just "numbers and letters")... but a simple algorithm that tries random texts should be about the same, i.e. getting the result in about half a time (in average).

Knocked this out a while ago, and should do what you want, more or less.
It isn't base16 so you may want to adjust the src and recompile.

arz...

Thanks FiNALSErAPH


im not 100% sure what you mean by

0xBB55B195 ^ 0xFFFFFFFF = 0x44AA4E6A

yes that statement above is true

but why did u calculate bb55b195's strings 1 first time?

bear with me... for being blind here...
