Security Warning

MD5 is cryptographically broken and should not be used for security purposes. It's vulnerable to collision attacks and should only be used for non-security applications like checksums and data integrity verification.

For security applications, use SHA-256 or SHA-512 instead.

🏷️ About MD5 Hash Algorithm

📖

What is MD5?

MD5 (Message Digest Algorithm 5) is a widely used hash function producing a 128-bit hash value. Created in 1991, it's now considered cryptographically broken but still useful for checksums.

✅

Valid Use Cases

File integrity checking, data deduplication, non-security checksums, legacy system compatibility, and database indexing where collision resistance isn't critical.

❌

Avoid For Security

Don't use MD5 for passwords, digital signatures, certificates, or any security-critical applications. Use SHA-256 or better alternatives instead.
