Hash Algorithm Comparison
| Algorithm | Output Size | Security | Speed | Use Cases |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MD5 | 128 bits (32 hex) | Broken | Fast | Checksums, non-security uses |
| SHA-1 | 160 bits (40 hex) | Weak | Fast | Legacy systems, Git commits |
| SHA-256 | 256 bits (64 hex) | Strong | Medium | Password hashing, certificates, blockchain |
| SHA-512 | 512 bits (128 hex) | Very Strong | Slower | High-security applications, long-term data |
Security Notes
- MD5: Not suitable for security purposes due to collision vulnerabilities
- SHA-1: Deprecated for security, use SHA-256 or SHA-512 instead
- Password Hashing: Use bcrypt, Argon2, or PBKDF2, not plain SHA
- Salting: Always add random salt when hashing passwords
- Rainbow Tables: Plain hashes are vulnerable to pre-computed attacks
