Hash & Security Tools

Hash and security tools fingerprint text or a file so you can compare it with a published digest. SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-512, and MD5 each produce a fixed-width checksum. HMAC adds a secret key, which is what webhook signatures use. The hash identifier reads the length and shape of a digest when you do not yet know which function made it. The password strength checker looks at a candidate password locally and does not store it.

This category is not a password vault. MD5 and SHA-1 are still common as checksums, and they are the wrong choice for new passwords or signatures. Prefer SHA-256 or SHA-512 when you can choose, and use HMAC when the other side expects a keyed signature. Generation and comparison run in the browser, so the file you hash is not uploaded to Toolbench.

All hash & security tools

SHA-256 Hash Generator
Hash text with SHA-256 and get 64 lowercase hexadecimal characters. The field is read as UTF-8, and an empty field has a digest too. Computed on this page.
MD5 Hash Generator
Generate MD5 hashes and checksums from text or files online. Verify downloads against an expected MD5, with hex output. Runs locally – nothing uploaded.
SHA-1 Hash Generator
Generate a SHA-1 hash (digest) from text or a file online. Hex or Base64 output, uppercase option, instant results in your browser. Learn when SHA-1 is unsafe.
Password Strength Checker
Score a password as you type: length, letter case, digits, and symbols, plus an entropy estimate. Suggestions sit under the bar. The check stays on this page.
SHA-512 Hash Generator
Create SHA-512 hashes from text or files online. Hex or Base64 output, compare against an expected digest, all computed locally in your browser.
HMAC Generator
Generate HMAC signatures with SHA-256, SHA-1 or SHA-512 using your secret key. Hex/Base64 output for verifying webhooks and API requests in your browser.
Hash Identifier
Guess a digest family from length and alphabet: MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-512, bcrypt, Argon2, or Base64. This page does not hash the text. Copy the candidates.
