Is it really insecure to still be using md5?

For what? Signatures? No. Verifying a file was downloaded correctly? Yes.

You should not use MD5.

It depends on what you are using it for.

>oh hey your file's hash is "0f19042b401..."
>let me just make a malicious file and bruteforce garbage at the end until it matches "0f19042b401..."

And it'll find a match in seconds, that's the fun part.
I wouldn't trust md5 for consistency checks either.

sha-2 is pretty much a standard for anything that isn't [20XX] NEW GAEM 4 CRACKED + KeyGen lelelelel torrents

For hashing passwords? Absolutely. You can get a rig to bruteforce them at 50GH/s on a pretty small budget.
>>
>>54396895
I seen code that can do this for CRC but not MD5.
>>
>>54396905
>dum

You're a mentally retarded mouth breather.
>>
>>54396580
use SHA1 at least

MD5 has way too many collisions
>>
>>54396933
MD5 bruteforcing is considered babby tier now, I've even seen coding challenge websites that feature it as a beginner exercise.
I wrote one once in C and it finished in 5 seconds.

>>54396972
Sure you did, kiddo.

did you write

return(0);

Yes, using MD5 for anything is insecure. This includes verifying file downloads.

It's still effective against accidental corruption, but not secure against malicious corruption.
