Hash Algorithms Explained

🔐 MD5 Hash

128-bit hash (32 characters). Fast but less secure - good for checksums and non-security applications. Not recommended for password hashing.

🔒 SHA-1 Hash

160-bit hash (40 characters). Better than MD5 but considered weak for cryptography. Still used for Git commits and legacy systems.

🛡️ SHA-256 Hash

256-bit hash (64 characters). Industry standard for security. Used in blockchain, SSL certificates, and secure password storage. Highly recommended.

🔐 SHA-512 Hash

512-bit hash (128 characters). Maximum security for the most sensitive data. Slower but extremely secure. Used in high-security applications.

Common Use Cases
