What is a Hash?

A hash is a deterministic fingerprint generated from input data. The same input creates the same hash, which makes hashes useful for comparisons and integrity checks.

Hashes are not the same as encryption. A secure password system should use dedicated password hashing algorithms with salts, not a plain MD5 or SHA hash.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can hashes be reversed?

Cryptographic hashes are designed to be one-way, but weak inputs can be guessed with dictionaries.

Should I use MD5 for security?

No. MD5 is not recommended for security-sensitive use. Use modern password hashing for passwords.

Why does a tiny input change create a different hash?

Good hash functions create very different outputs when the input changes.
