MD5 Hash Generator
The MD5 (Message-Digest Algorithm 5) is a widely used cryptographic hash function that produces a 128-bit (16-byte) hash value, typically expressed as a 32-digit hexadecimal number.
Is MD5 Safe for Passwords?
No. MD5 is considered cryptographically broken and should not be used for securing passwords because it is vulnerable to collision attacks. However, it is still extremely useful for:
- File Integrity: Checking if a downloaded file has been corrupted (Checksums).
- Data Verification: Ensuring two sets of data are identical without comparing the raw data.
- Unique Identifiers: Generating non-secure IDs for databases.
