MD5 Tool: Simple but Handy for CTFs

[DaveBR]

Hey folks, just came across a small MD5 tool that lets you generate or crack hashes in a few clicks. Nothing groundbreaking, but really useful if you’re in a CTF or just checking file integrity. Sure, MD5 isn’t great for security these days, mostly good for quick checks or basic checksums, but if you need stronger stuff, Bcrypt or Argon2 is the way to go.

Not sure if this post is spam or legit but you don't need third-party tools for checking hashes. PowerShell comes with every Windows and its Get-FileHash command can go up to SHA512, which is more than plenty for file integrity checks.
