You're doing some infinite recursion here. Eventually 
you'll hit a wall. (There are logic errors in your script 
-- look at "$cur++" and "!$cur>=$i" for instance.) 
 
Besides, brute forcing MD5 would take forever. Even if you 
could do a trillion attempts per second it would still 
take you from now until the Sun exploded to complete the 
brute force attack.
