About MD5

MD5 (Message Digest Algorithm 5) is a widely used cryptographic hash function producing a 128-bit hash value. However, it is now considered cryptographically broken and unsuitable for security-sensitive applications due to known collision vulnerabilities.

Why Use MD5? (With Caution)

  • Data Integrity (Non-Critical): For applications where a high level of security is not absolutely critical, MD5 can be used to detect unintentional data corruption.
  • Checksums: MD5 is sometimes used to create checksums for file verification (but stronger algorithms are preferred).

Security Warning:

Do not use MD5 for password storage or any other security-sensitive application. Use stronger algorithms like SHA-256 or bcrypt.

Examples

Example 1: Input: "Hello, world!" Output: (MD5 hash)
