They don't mention the hash function anywhere so I'm assuming MD5.

If they don't mention it you could assume any one of the commonly used hash functions.

Sure, but if youre using a good one you usually say what it is. "Salted and hashed" is usually MD5 or SHA1, both of which provide almost no deterrence to brute forcing.

So MD5?
