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.

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.

If that’s a yes, then you need the help from a decent enough MD5 Hash Checker. What we’re going to do, is talk about the best free hash checkers available for Windows 11/10.

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

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.

In the case of TLS up to version 1.1 the transcript hash was generated using a combination of MD5 and SHA1, but starting in TLS 1.2 the client and server can negotiate the hashing algorithm based ...

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 ...

Okay I admit it, sometimes I’ve been guilty of using the MD5 hashing algorithm in my code simply because it’s easily available in Java, it’s convenient and familiar, and I implicitly trust it. (Jeez, ...

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.
