MD5 is a hashing algorithm, still popular despite the security issues. You can use it to encrypt a string or to get the fingerprint of a file. In this article, we'll see how to use it in...

MD5 and SHA256 are two popular cryptographic algorithms, used to store sensitive data (passwords for example). In this article, we'll see the difference between them, and which one you should use and...

If you are a developer, you know that regex are really useful to find or check something quickly. But usually, they are not really the easiest thing to do, especially if you are not sure of what you...

If you are still using MD5 to encrypt passwords in a database, it might be a right move to look for a better algorithm. SHA256 should be a good replacement, and the question today is to see how to...

Sometimes, when you download a file on the Internet (program, image, etc.), you might get another file with it, with a md5 file extension (ex: myfile.iso and myfile.iso.md5). If you don't know what...

The main goal of MD5 was to hide sensitive data like passwords by encrypting it in a database, so that even if the database is downloaded by someone, there is no way they can get all the passwords...
