Frequently Asked Questions
What is a hash?
A hash is a fixed-size string generated from input data using a mathematical algorithm. The same input always produces the same hash, but you cannot reverse a hash to get the original data.
Which hash algorithm should I use?
SHA-256 or SHA-512 are recommended for security. MD5 and SHA-1 are faster but less secure and should not be used for passwords or security-critical applications.
Can I use this for password hashing?
While this generates hashes, for password storage you should use specialized algorithms like bcrypt, scrypt, or Argon2 which are designed to be slow and resist brute-force attacks.
Are hashes reversible?
No, cryptographic hashes are one-way functions. You cannot convert a hash back to the original text. However, common words can be found in rainbow tables.
