Q:

converting hexdigest string back to original string

I have a string and I can create its md5 using hexdigest by doing this
import hashlib
ver = 'root123'
hashlib.md5(ver).hexdigest()
'ff9830c42660c1dd1942844f8069b74a'

Now I would like to reverse this process. I have a hexdigest string and I would like to convert it to its original string. Is their a python library or a function to do that
Thank you

A:

md5 hash is a one way hash. You cannot get the original string back. See more at:

Is it possible to decrypt md5 hashes?
