Frequently Asked Questions
What is an MD5 hash used for?
MD5 is primarily used as a checksum to verify that a file has not been altered. It acts like a digital fingerprint; even a tiny change in the original file results in a completely different hash.
Is MD5 safe for passwords?
No. MD5 is vulnerable to collision attacks and is considered cryptographically broken for security. Use SHA-256 or bcrypt for storing passwords. Use MD5 only for non-security integrity checks.
Can I decrypt an MD5 hash?
No, MD5 is a one-way function. You cannot 'decrypt' it back to the original text. However, simple strings can be found via 'rainbow tables' (precomputed databases), which is why it's unsafe for passwords.
