Frequently Asked Questions
What is a hash generator?
A hash generator is a tool that converts any input (text, file) into a fixed-length string of characters called a hash. Hashes are used for data integrity verification, password storage, and digital signatures.
What is the difference between MD5 and SHA256?
MD5 produces a 128-bit hash and is faster but less secure. SHA256 produces a 256-bit hash, is slower but much more secure. For security purposes, SHA256 or higher is recommended.
Can hashes be reversed?
No, cryptographic hashes are one-way functions. They cannot be reversed. However, weak hashes like MD5 can be cracked using rainbow tables for common inputs.
