Rules & checks

Runs hashing locally via CryptoJS.

Supports MD5, SHA1, and SHA256 outputs.

No inputs are stored or sent anywhere.

When to use it

  • Generate hashes for quick payload comparisons
  • Produce signatures for testing (non-HMAC) flows
  • Verify file/string integrity against known hashes

Tips

  • Do not paste production secrets or long-term keys
  • Use SHA-256 for stronger hashing; MD5/SHA1 are weak and not for security

Examples

SHA-256 of 'hello'

  • SHA256(hello) -> 2cf24dba5fb0a...

MD5 of 'hello'

  • MD5(hello) -> 5d41402abc4b2a76b9719d911017c592

FAQs

Is my input stored or sent?
No. Hashing happens locally and clears on refresh.
Is this suitable for passwords?
No. Use secure, salted hashing on the server for real authentication.
