MD5 password scrambler used to be secure but now is no longer secure.
MD5 is one of the ways of encrypting passwords and making them secure than leaving them plain. MD5 is of bit 32.
pls post d ans
Of the conman ones in use today MD5 is the least secure.
the md5 in this site is fake md5
Hash algorithms are functions that take an input and produce a fixed-size string of characters, which is typically a digest that represents the input data. MD5 and SHA-1 are specific types of cryptographic hash algorithms; however, they differ in terms of security and collision resistance. MD5 produces a 128-bit hash value and is considered insecure due to vulnerabilities that allow for collision attacks. SHA-1, while more secure than MD5 with a 160-bit hash, has also been found to be susceptible to collision attacks, leading to its decline in usage in favor of more secure algorithms like SHA-256.
Common implementations of the Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) typically use the MD5 hash algorithm. CHAP uses a challenge-response mechanism where a server sends a challenge to the client, which then computes a hash of the challenge and its password to respond. Although MD5 is widely used, it is considered less secure by modern standards, and more secure alternatives are recommended for sensitive applications.
Unfortunately, md5 encryption can NEVER decrypted, that is the whole point of it!
MD5 check sum is unique for a file content and is used to check the integrity of the file content. If file is to be transferred using network, recipient can calculate the MD5 hash and check it with the MD5 check sum of sender, if both are same, he can be sure of non-corruption of file in transit.
md5() is one-way encryption method. Example: $test_string="php"; $md_encoded_string=md5($test_string); But, you can't decode the string back to php.So, if you need to check the entered string is php or not $user_entered_string=md5($_POST['user_input']); if($md_encoded_string == $user_entered_string) { echo "input matched"; }
