MD5 Hash Generator
Generate MD5 (Message Digest Algorithm 5) hashes from text. Note that MD5 is a 128-bit hash function that is no longer considered cryptographically secure due to vulnerabilities.
About MD5 Hash
- Hash functions convert input data into fixed-size output strings
- Each algorithm produces different length outputs and has different characteristics
- MD5 (128-bit) and SHA1 (160-bit) are older and no longer considered cryptographically secure
- SHA256 and above are currently recommended for security applications
- The same input will always produce the same hash output
- Even small changes in input produce completely different hashes
