What pool of characters do MD5 and SHA have?
33,021
MD5 and SHA hashes in raw form are binary, however their common representation is a hex-encoded string, which contains characters [a-fA-F0-9].
So if this is what you meant, then characters G-Z, g-z are "excluded".
Another, less common, representation is Base64 encoding [0-9a-zA-Z+/].

Does MD5 and SHA only contain alphanumeric characters? (i.e., from A to Z and 0 to 9, or do they exclude some characters?)

IMB over 11 yearsYeah the hex form is what I what mean. Thanks.

Pavel Ognev over 11 yearsIt's common, but not single. Unix password files, for example, contains hashes in Base64 format [0-9a-zA-Z+/].

deostroll about 2 yearsShouldn't an equal sign (
=) also end up there? In base64?
