MD5 Hash Generator
About MD5: 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.
Security Note: MD5 is considered cryptographically broken and unsuitable for further use in security applications due to vulnerability to collision attacks. Consider using more secure alternatives like SHA-256 for sensitive data.

About MD5 Hash
What is MD5? MD5 (Message Digest Algorithm 5) is a cryptographic hash function that takes an input and produces a 128-bit (16-byte) hash value, typically rendered as a 32-character hexadecimal number.
Common Uses:
- Verifying data integrity (file checksums)
- Digital signatures
- Password hashing (though not recommended for new systems)
- Generating unique identifiers
Security Considerations: While MD5 is fast and produces a consistent hash for the same input, it's vulnerable to collision attacks where two different inputs produce the same hash. For security-critical applications, consider using more secure algorithms like SHA-256 or SHA-3.
