Make sure you Google-search the resulting hashes first:

  https://github.com/juuso/BozoCrack

  "BozoCrack is a depressingly effective MD5 password hash cracker
  with almost zero CPU/GPU load. Instead of rainbow tables,
  dictionaries, or brute force, BozoCrack simply finds the plaintext
  password. Specifically, it googles the MD5 hash and hopes the
  plaintext appears somewhere on the first page of results.

  It works way better than it ever should."
