I use brute force on 0 to 5 character attempts. I get smart at 6 or more characters. No need to use brains or GPU speed to crack 5 char passwords. Here are more weak hashes from his list:

DA39A3EE5E6B4B0D3255BFEF95601890AFD80709 "" no_pass

0D824508182A1AA0EEF9A0B6EE52F8A32AF06F0A "GoOd!" brute_5

A94B95A7A4D432DE056B0030DA879AF841376069 "GPGPU" brute_5

BFE06C47BE2390ACA934AB6A128C141DCEB4072F "G0o|)" brute_5

My point still stands. These should have been better/stronger hashes. I did all of that in less than an hour on a CPU using full enumeration (aka brute force).
