About MD5 Hash

MD5 (Message Digest Algorithm 5) is a widely used cryptographic hash function that produces a 128-bit (16-byte) hash value. Although MD5 was initially designed to be used as a cryptographic hash function, it has been found to suffer from extensive vulnerabilities.

Applications of MD5

  • File Integrity Verification - Verify that a file has not been altered by comparing hash values
  • Data Deduplication - Identify duplicate data by comparing their hash values
  • Digital Forensics - Creating and comparing digital fingerprints of files
  • Cache Invalidation - Determining when cached content needs to be refreshed
  • Version Control - Tracking changes to files in a repository
