Cheers, teddNot in this case, as it doesn't goes about decrypting the key here, that's impossible with MD5, you can only bruteforce. But that's totally not of interest, a cracker doesn't want to implement a MD5 bruteforcer in his bot that brute forces the MD5 key each time (which can take up to several years to complete on regular PCs).
