| That's a pretty good explanation for those wishing to learn a thing or two and in spite of the MD5 from hell scare going on; anybody with an interest can easily tell this is getting blown into a mountain. MD5 and hash checks have been around for years and so have the holes, nothing new here.
First line of defence is not an MD5 correlation, particularly in the business world; it's just another layer. |
