MD5 Hash:
What is MD5?
MD5 is a cryptographic hash function that produces a 128-bit (32-character hex) fingerprint of any input. The same input always produces the same hash. Different inputs almost never produce the same hash.
What is it used for?
- Checksums: Verify file integrity (downloads, backups)
- Cache keys: Short unique identifiers for content
- Gravatar: Email hashes for avatar URLs
- Legacy systems: Older systems still use MD5
Security note
MD5 is not secure for passwords or security-critical use. It has known collisions. Use SHA-256 or bcrypt for passwords. For checksums and non-security use, MD5 is still common.
