Hash Generator
Generate cryptographic hashes using various algorithms including MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512. Perfect for data validation, integrity checks, and security applications.
Algorithm Guide
- MD5: 128-bit hash, fast but not cryptographically secure. Use for checksums only.
- SHA-1: 160-bit hash, deprecated for security use. Still used for git commits.
- SHA-256: 256-bit hash, recommended for most security applications.
- SHA-384/512: Higher security with longer output. SHA-512 is faster on 64-bit systems.
Security Note
MD5 and SHA-1 are cryptographically broken and should not be used for security purposes. Use SHA-256 or higher for password hashing, digital signatures, and data integrity verification.
