Hash Generator

Generate MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-512, and SHA-3 hashes for text or files

Hash Algorithm Guide

MD5: Fast but not secure, used for checksums and non-security purposes

SHA-1: Deprecated for security, still used for legacy compatibility

SHA-256: Widely used, secure, good balance of speed and security

SHA-512: Most secure, larger hash size, slower but more resistant to attacks

SHA-3: Latest standard, different construction from SHA-2, good for new applications
