The game technically takes your numeric serial and hashes it some how. Either by md5 or some wol-ish hack of the md5 function. either way...if theres a way in theres a way out.




HASH abc = 1234
HASH def = 1234
HASH hij = 1234


So, if I give you the hash 1234, tell me what input produced it with 100% accuracy based on the table above. Here's a clue: it's impossible. That's the whole POINT of a hashing function.

Encryption is two way (can be decrypted), hashing is one way and a hash cannot be unhashed programatically without additional information about the original input to the hash function and even then is simply a best guess.
