Hash Generator

Generate cryptographic hashes from text or files using various algorithms

Hash Algorithms

MD5

128-bit hash (not cryptographically secure)

SHA-1

160-bit hash (not recommended for security)

SHA-224

224-bit hash (SHA-2 family)

SHA-256

256-bit hash (SHA-2 family, widely used)

SHA-384

384-bit hash (SHA-2 family)

SHA-512

512-bit hash (SHA-2 family)

RIPEMD-160

160-bit hash (alternative to SHA-1)

Whirlpool

512-bit hash (ISO/IEC 10118-3)

Text input:

Hash functions are mathematical algorithms that convert input data into a fixed-size string of characters.

SHA-256 is the most widely used hash function, providing excellent security for most applications.

MD5 and SHA-1 are considered cryptographically broken and should not be used for security purposes.

Common uses: Digital signatures, password storage, file integrity verification, blockchain technology.

Security note: Hash functions are one-way - you cannot reverse a hash to get the original input.
