How to use the Hash Generator

1

What is a hash?

A hash function takes any input and produces a fixed-length fingerprint. The same input always produces the same hash, but changing even one character produces a completely different hash. Hashes are one-way — you cannot reverse them to get the original text back. Used for verifying file integrity and storing passwords securely.

2

Which algorithm to use?

SHA-256 is the current gold standard for most purposes. SHA-512 is stronger but produces longer hashes. MD5 and SHA-1 are outdated for security purposes but still used for file checksums. Never use MD5 or SHA-1 for password storage.
