Oh.. Didn't know anyone already made this - i also made a tool, but it doesn't send your whole hash over the wire (only the last 4 chars). http://olemartin.org/linkedin-passwords/

Nice looking page for such fast work. What about letting 'advanced' users check the SHA1 of their password, so they don't enter their password at all but also don't have to track down the giant file?
That should work already - just use the other field and click the button. :-) There's no giant file though, i've split the giant file into ~65000 smaller ones that are more bandwidth friendly.
i observed it seems this tool and the leaked in one don't agree on the resulting hash value from the same word.

for example this tool says the word "test" hashes with the last 5 digits of 77136 where as leaked in translates the word "test" to fbbd3. hmmm

Thanks! I've changed it now. Seems i didn't catch the key event properly. :-)
