Please read what they write on their web page (stresses by me):

=== quote begin ===

Encrypt MD5 hash, Decrypt MD5 hash
MD5Decryption.com allows you to enter a MD5 hash and we will look *into 
our database*
and try to decrypt MD5. Basically it is a MD5 decrypter.

What is an MD5 hash, or MD5 Checksum?
MD5 is a 128-bit message digest function.
It is used commonly in user authentication and MD5 checksum for data 
integrity.

How many MD5 hashes are in our database?
*We have encrypted* more than 105,300,000 words, phrases, acronyms, etc 
since 2006.

=== quote end ===

So they have build themselves a database of a limited number of md5 
hashes and use that to resolve your requests. MD5 is a one way hashing 
function. Full stop. Don't believe it? Well... I generated a hash of 
"wrxlbrmpf" which is d162435be814d6c6f4e1e4f077e5343d. This hash is not 
found in their database. Or better yet: Hash a 1GB movie and ask them to 
decrypt that. It would definitely be awesome if you could store a 1GB 
movie inside a 16-Byte hash...

Sven
