Calculates the MD5 hash of the specified string and returns its hexadecimal representation.

Caution

It is strongly recommended to use passwordHash to hash passwords, md5 is easily decodeable.

Note

It returns an uppercase string, so make sure you string.upper() anything else you are checking against that has been MD5'd elsewhere.

Note

This function, along with other hashing algorithms, can be used for a plausible script self protection strategy. If done right this strategy does present the fact that the script wants to express ownership to a legal entity. This can be used as argument in a court of law or for DRM purposes. You can find the general idea here .
