- pseudoramble 5y agoFair enough! I over-spoke in my previous comment (I don't seem to able to edit it anymore). Thanks for pointing that out. Using SHA256 or greater is what should be used for generating new hashes, especially if you can update old entries and files with SHA256's. Many databases still have way more MD5/SHA1 hashes which won't be updated to include the SHA256, which is why you'll see them be used often.
