The document describes a proof-of-concept technique that uses a CGI script to generate strings and their MD5 hashes, relying on Google’s crawler to index the results so that searching an MD5 hash can reveal the original string. It outlines implementation details (URL rewriting, ~100k index limits, recursive seeding via self-links), shows example results, and notes limitations like partial indexing and link credibility, suggesting multi-party seeding to improve coverage.
