About MD5 Hash
MD5 (Message Digest Algorithm 5) is a widely used cryptographic hash function that produces a 128-bit (16-byte) hash value. It's commonly used to verify data integrity, but it's not recommended for security-critical applications due to known vulnerabilities.
Common Uses of MD5 Hashes:
- File Verification: Check if a file has been modified or corrupted during transfer.
- Data Integrity: Verify that data hasn't been altered.
- Checksums: Generate checksums for files to verify their integrity.
- Legacy Systems: Some older systems still use MD5 for various purposes.
Security Notice: MD5 is considered cryptographically broken and unsuitable for security applications. For security-critical applications, use stronger hash functions like SHA-256 or SHA-3.
