In the past, we’ve talked about several free tools designed for calculating hashes and generating Checksum files. Most lack many features, and some have an ancient-looking user interface, which is ...

Security pros often ask about the weaknesses of the Message-Digest version 5 algorithm (MD5) and whether it should still be used. MD5 is a cryptographic one-way hash function that produces a value ...

Generating checksums—cryptographic hashes such as MD5 or SHA-256 functions for files is hardly anything new and one of the most efficient means to ascertain the integrity of a file, or to check if two ...

This software tool lets you convert lists of words into MD5 hashes (encoding) and potentially retrieve the original words from those hashes (decoding). MD5 (Message-Digest Algorithm 5) is a ...
