Download MD5 Checker - User-friendly and portable piece of software designed to help you verify downloads by comparing two MD5 checksums, as well as generate checksums. MD5 is a 128-bit encryption algorithm, which generates a hexadecimal hash of 32 characters, regardless of the input word size. This algorithm is not reversible, it's normally impossible to find the original word from the MD5. Our tool uses a huge database in order to have the best chance of cracking the original word.
This MD5 hash generator is useful for encoding passwords, credit cards numbers and other sensitive date into MySQL, Postgress or other databases. PHP programmers, ASP programmers and anyone developing on MySQL, SQL, Postgress or similar should find this online tool an especially handy resource.
An MD5 hash is created by taking a string of an any length and encoding it into a 128-bit fingerprint. Encoding the same string using the MD5 algorithm will always result in the same 128-bit hash output. MD5 hashes are commonly used with smaller strings when storing passwords, credit card numbers or other sensitive data in databases such as the popular MySQL. This tool provides a quick and easy way to encode an MD5 hash from a simple string of up to 256 characters in length.
MD5 hashes are also used to ensure the data integrity of files. Because the MD5 hash algorithm always produces the same output for the same given input, users can compare a hash of the source file with a newly created hash of the destination file to check that it is intact and unmodified.
An MD5 hash is NOT encryption. It is simply a fingerprint of the given input. However, it is a one-way transaction and as such it is almost impossible to reverse engineer an MD5 hash to retrieve the original string.
MD5 means a 128-bit encryption algorithm, generating a 32-character hexadecimal hash. This algorithm is not reversible, ie it is normally impossible to find the original word from the md5 hash. Our tool uses a huge database in order to have the best chance possible to trace the decrypted text. Just enter an MD5 hash in the form above to try to decrypt!
What is a Hash?A hash, or hash function is a function that can be used to convert data of any size to a much smaller size. It's like a fingerprint of the data. The result of a hash function are called hash code, digest, hash value or simply hash. If the data changes just a little bit, the resulting hash will change completely.Until now it was very difficult to reconstruct data just from the hash value. Hash Toolkit has built a giant database of precomputed inputs and their corresponding hashes. With that database you can reverse / decrypt / reconstruct a hash into it's initial form super fast.
