SHA-256 vs MD5: Which Hash Should You Use?

MD5 is broken for security; SHA-256 is the modern choice for checksums and password hashing (with proper salting). Still, MD5 appears in legacy systems and non-security contexts. We compare both and show how to generate hashes client-side for quick checks. Try the free tool on [Buggable.dev](https://buggable.dev) for quick, client-side results.
