Is SHA-1 still secure?

No — SHA-1 is considered weak against determined attackers for security-critical uses like certificates, though it remains common for non-security checksums.

Why is my hash always 40 characters?

SHA-1 always produces a 160-bit hash, represented as 40 hexadecimal characters, regardless of input length.

Is this the same algorithm Git uses?

Yes — Git historically identifies commits using SHA-1 hashes, though newer Git versions support SHA-256 as well.

Is my text uploaded anywhere?

No — hashing uses your browser's built-in Web Crypto API and never leaves your device.

Can I reverse a SHA-1 hash back to the original text?

Not directly — hashing is one-way by design.

What should I use instead of SHA-1 for security?

Use SHA-256 or SHA-512 for new security-sensitive applications.

What Is a SHA-1 Hash?

SHA-1 is a cryptographic hash function that converts any input text into a fixed 40-character hexadecimal string (160 bits). Like other hash functions, the same input always produces the same output, and any change to the input changes the hash completely.

SHA-1 was widely used for digital signatures and certificates but is now considered weak against determined attackers and has been phased out in favor of SHA-256 for security-sensitive uses — it still remains common for non-security checksums and version-control systems like Git.

Советы

Avoid SHA-1 for New Security Systems

For new security-sensitive work, prefer SHA-256 or SHA-512 instead.

Use It to Match Git Commit Hashes

Git historically uses SHA-1 for commit identifiers, which this tool can help you understand.
