That's odd, because right at the top of the page, it says "MD5 ONLINE
CRACKING." Also, the title of the page is "MD5 CRACK." Furthermore, the
about section has clues like "This project is dedicated to crack md5 hashes
online through web interface" and "At the moment we can crack md5 hashes in
this character range: a-z;0-9 [8] which means we can break almost all hashes
(99.56%) which are created from lowercase plaintext with letters and/or
digits up to length of 8 characters."
In fact, Windows LM hashes aren't mentioned at all.
I'm fairly certain that this URL will only crack MD5 hashes* and won't do
much of anything useful with Lanman hashes.
