The summer 2008 edition of 2600 has an interesting extension of this: using Google (etc.) to search for the hash and find an original text (password). Apparently a lot of people or systems post this information intentionally or inadvertently. In some limited sense, you don't need the reverse function if Google is mapping the forward function.
