This tool allows the generation of a hash (digital fingerprint) of a certain content, using the MD5 algorithm.

MD5 encoding is commonly used to store information such as passwords, sensitive content, or simply to ensure the originality of a particular content.

MD5 is not an encryption method, but only a way to generate a hash of content. This means that whenever the same content is submitted to an MD5 hash generation routine, you will always have the same hash as a result!

With this method, you can compare from a password, to the content of an entire file, just by using the hash generated for the contents.
