How do you've solved this challenge?
I've found the the solution thorugh google (cracked by milw0rm), but I guess it's not the correct way.
On the other hand, finding collisions in md5 isn't that easy..

Using rainbow tables helped in reversing the md5 hash.

I also solved this by googling the hash.
I am curious about rainbow tables. In order for them to work, doesn't the password have to exist in one of the list of chains?
Rainbow tables seem to just save you from having to save ALL the MD5s in memory for comparison later, but it doesn't help that you still have to MD5 everything possible correct?

Yeah, I did online rainbow tables but only one of them work.
I don't think it's MD5 although - if I remember ti correctly it's MD4.

Brute force with the program 'Cain' also works, but its impossible to know how long that will take before you do it so I just used google

I used a MD5 hash search engine so I'm pretty sure it was MD5.
Try
on the console and you'll see that the exact hash value from the challenge comes out.
Well to be honest I didn't heard of the existence of such search engines ever before and found such a website purely by accident, but the idea is of course obvious.
