MD5 Hash Generator
Generate MD5 message digests from your text input. MD5 produces a 128-bit (16-byte) hash value, typically expressed as a 32-digit hexadecimal number.
Security Note: MD5 is cryptographically broken and unsuitable for password hashing or other security purposes. Consider using SHA-256 or bcrypt for secure applications.

About MD5
The MD5 message-digest algorithm is a widely used hash function producing a 128-bit hash value. While MD5 was designed for cryptographic applications, it’s now considered broken for security purposes due to vulnerabilities.
Common uses:
- Checksums for file integrity verification
- Non-critical data fingerprinting
- Partitioning data in databases
Should not be used for:
- Password storage (use bcrypt, Argon2 or PBKDF2 instead)
- Digital signatures or certificates
- Any security-critical applications
