Is MD5 secure for passwords?

MD5 is not recommended for password hashing as it's vulnerable to collision attacks. Use bcrypt or Argon2 for passwords.

What is MD5 used for?

MD5 is commonly used for file integrity verification, checksum generation, and as a quick fingerprint for data.

MD5 is a one-way hash function and cannot be directly reversed. However, rainbow table attacks exist for common strings.

What is this tool?

MD5 (Message-Digest Algorithm 5) is a widely-used cryptographic hash function that produces a 128-bit (16-byte) hash value, typically rendered as a 32-character hexadecimal number. It's commonly used for file integrity verification and checksum generation.

How to use this tool?

1. Enter text or upload a file 2. Click "Generate MD5 Hash" 3. View the 32-character MD5 hash 4. Copy the hash to clipboard 5. Compare with known hashes for verification 6. Use for file integrity checks
