I'd say you can't bruteforce md5, unless you're extremley lucky.
However, md5 is easily broken, you just need to know how to construct
the hashes.

One could switch to SHA for 'increaased' security.

Although I don't think he'd be having problems using MD5 as he described
it. I'd also lilke to see he's example of brute-force 'cracking' the MD5
digest.
