Does anyone know how to decrypt an MD5 with a salt in it?

    If you have the MD5 database and the salt you can custom build a rainbow table to brute-force/dictionary attack the database. Will take you forever. Enjoy.

    You can't that's the point. Not even the person who created it can reverse it. Rainbow tables are the only possibility but if it's salted that's unlikely to work

    MD5 is a checksum, not compression or encryption.

    if you know the hash and the salt, you can brute force it.

    good luck with that.
