its from a database and this column was labelled "password"

92860a8c94e927b22471c7bda28f8ad8
a269d17349ce29a77a89c7ec4ed0c3d4
98f11b7a7880169c3bd62a5a507b3965
3bad6af0fa4b8b330d162e19938ee981

that should be 4 different passwords.

those are MD5 hashes, the passwords are not stored there in plain text, they are encrypted:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MD5

and yes, such hashes can be cracked, simply google for "online md5 crack"...

not to be a dick, but the answers are already on this forum, search the forum for "MD5" "hash" etc.

I PM'd him already anyway, couldn't resist to test my 80 GB of rainbow tables...

Again, thankyou. If i had known tha they were MD5, I wouldn't have asked and would have searched the forum for such. I'm still new to all these different languages and encryption methods and encoding. Binary and hex and dec...etc. Obviously an experienced eye was all it took to recognize what i was asking.
