Instructions for Use
1. Local Temporary History: Displays the last generated result on the current page. Disabling this feature and regenerating, or refreshing the page, will keep only the latest result and clear all previous records. In this mode, you can review up to 255 previous generation records.
2. Process Line by Line: Each line of input (ignoring blank lines) is processed separately and output as an independent record. For example, if three different lines are input, the system will generate and display a record for each line. In this mode, up to 256 records can be generated.
3. Export: Supports export in txt, csv, xls, and xlsx formats (txt export note: When plaintext data contains new line characters (\r\n, \n, \r), to ensure consistency, all new line characters will be replaced with the ↵ symbol. Here, \r\n is for Windows systems, \n is for Linux and Unix systems, and \r is for older Mac systems.)

About MD5 Hash Generator
The MD5 Hash Generator online encrypts text strings using the MD5 hashing algorithm, allowing you to quickly compute and generate the corresponding MD5 hash value.
Note: MD5 (Message Digest Algorithm 5) is a widely used cryptographic hash function that produces a 128-bit (16-byte) hash value, ensuring the integrity of transmitted information. MD5 was designed by Ron Rivest in 1991 with the primary aim of securing information transmission.
• Features
Fixed Output Length: Regardless of the size of the input data, the output length of MD5 is always 128 bits.
Fast Computation: The MD5 algorithm can quickly compute and generate hash values for large files.
Irreversibility: It is impossible to derive the original input information from the MD5 hash value, making it a one-way operation.
High Dispersion: Even minor changes in the input will cause significant changes in the output hash value, known as the "avalanche effect."
Uniqueness: In theory, different inputs do not produce the same output hash value (though collisions are possible).
• Applications
File Verification: One of the most common uses of MD5 is to verify the integrity of software or files. By comparing a file's MD5 hash with the original, one can detect whether the file has been altered or damaged during transmission or storage.
Password Storage: Although it is no longer recommended to use MD5 for storing passwords, in the past, many systems stored the MD5 hash of user passwords rather than the plaintext passwords. This means even if data was compromised, attackers could not easily access users' original passwords.
Digital Signatures: MD5 can be combined with other cryptographic technologies to verify data integrity and authenticity. By hashing data with MD5 and encrypting the hash with the sender's private key, the receiver can use the sender's public key to verify that the data has not been tampered with.
Protocol Security: Many network and communication protocols use the MD5 hash function to ensure the integrity and consistency of transmitted data, such as certain parts of the SSL and TLS protocols.
