10 Comments on “What is the length of the MD5 hash?

  1. Just Say'n says:

    MD5 = 128 bits (4 – 32 bit words)
    16 bytes (8 bits in a byte so 128/8)
    32 characters in length.

    A is wrong because MD5 is FOUR 32 bit words not one.
    B is wrong because 128 bits is 16 bytes not 64.
    C is wrong because MD5 is 32 characters in length not 48.
    D is wrong because Kilobites is way off.

    The question asks for the length of MD5. And the length of MD5 is always a 32 character hexidecimal number.

    So all the answers are technically wrong. But the most correct will be the answer talking about characters.
