    Based on your title, I'm assuming those are MD5 checksums. If so, then these are not something that can be decrypted.

    An MD5 checksum is a one-way hash of the contents of a file -- a fingerprint, if you will. It is used to verify the integrity of a downloaded file. If the owner of the file provides an MD5 checksum, what you do is to calculate the MD5 for the file you downloaded. If they match, you have a perfect copy of the file. If even one bit in the file is wrong, the MD5 value will be totally different.

    I hope this helps,
