MD5 Hash Changer

By now you've probably dealt with MD5 hashes. An MD5 hash is a series of letters and numbers, a string, created by an algorithm in connection to the data any file contains. You can tell if a file has been compromised by cross-referencing the hash. MD5 Hash Changer should be helpful in identifying and changing, if need be, the hash string of any file.

As the name suggests, this simple application allows users to change the hash of any loaded files. The developer states it works by attaching null characters to the file's end. As far as the process is involved, you don't have much to do yourself. Add your files, remove any files you might have wrongfully selected and proceed to changing the hash. If need be, you can always delete all files and start the whole process over again. The hash strings are changed almost instantly, so you won't be waiting too much.

There aren't that many cases in which you should change hash strings. These identification numbers are there more often to attest file integrity.

One specific such situation could be when dealing with online services that operate with the use of a file's hash string. What happens if you have to execute an operation, but your hash has already been registered online? The service will say it's the same file. That's especially bothersome if you need to double check that your file works as expected. This is one particular case where MD5 Hash Changer could come to the rescue.

MD5 Hash Changer is an application that won't really come in handy too often. It's an interesting and quite niche program that could have its uses provided the moment is right. It works fast and doesn't hog any resources at all. MD5 Hash Changer also displays a final status for each particular file, so you know if something went sideways for each specific case.
