Researchers from the INRIA institute in France have devised several attacks which prove that the continued support for MD5 in cryptographic protocols is much more dangerous than previously believed.

Finding a MD5 Hash Checker Tool is not hard, but finding the best one can take some time. Thankfully, we are here to deliver the goods.

Verisign is kicking MD5 to the curb after researchers demonstrated the flawed algorithm allows hackers to duplicate an SSL certficate and steal information from users.

When Oracle publishes its next quarterly patch update in April, the company will begin treating JAR files signed with the MD5 hashing algorithm as unsigned.

Microsoft has given customers six months to find MD5 installations and prepare for a February 2014 patch that will block the broken algorithm.

Luckily for Java users, the JDK contains nice implementations of the SHA-256 and SHA-512 hash algorithms, which are altogether more secure than MD5. So (note to self): there’s no excuse for using MD5 ...

The good news is that most CA’s now use SHA-1 as their hash algorithm, but there are still a few CA’s that use MD5.

A series of attacks on MD5, a hashing algorithm that's much more collision-prone than SHA1, provides a glimpse at the dire results of collision attacks. The Flame espionage malware, which the US ...
