MD5 was established as a cryptographic algorithm that should help with data security and cryptographic authentication. However, some long time ago, the algorithm was proven to be insecure, resulting in a limitation of its usage. Since then, MD5 can be used to verify accidental data corruption and file integrity, of course in a non-cryptographic way. For example, some users prefer to use the MD5 hashes to check the integrity of larger files. The hash verification method ensures that no change took place regarding the file's size, or that no corruption resulted due to the transfer.

If you wish to apply this method of verification to your files, Hash Generator (Text to MD5) is a small and simple application that will convert all your input to MD5 hashes.

First, the program comes as a portable executable that can be copied on a flash drive and hang on the key chain. This way, you can conduct your verification from any computer you want. No installation process or required.

The interface is split in half basically. The top half takes your input, while the second part converts the text into a 128-bit fingerprint, or how it's commonly known, a digest.

There might be cases where the target system cannot read lower case strings, so the only solution is to change or generate uppercase hashes. Use the Uppercase button each time you need to switch to capital letters.

Hash Generator (Text to MD5) is a lightweight and easy-to-use app that might help some users generate their strings for data integrity validation. It can be used as an alternative to the numerous online hash generators out there, mainly because you need no internet connection, and for that uppercase feature.
