The weaknesses of MD5 have been exploited in the field, most infamously by the Flame malware in 2012. It remains suitable for other non-cryptographic purposes, for example for determining the partition for a particular key in a partitioned database. It can still be used as a checksum to verify data integrity, but only against unintentional corruption.
Although MD5 was initially designed to be used as a cryptographic hash function, it has been found to suffer from extensive vulnerabilities. The MD5 message-digest algorithm is a widely used hash function producing a 128-bit hash value. We are not cracking your hash in realtime - we're just caching the hard work of many cracking enthusiasts over the years. We have been building our hash database since August 2007. It's like having your own massive hash-cracking cluster - but with immediate results! This allows you to input an MD5, SHA-1, Vbulletin, Invision Power Board, MyBB, Bcrypt, Wordpress, SHA-256, SHA-512, MYSQL5 etc hash and search for its corresponding plaintext ("found") in our database of already-cracked hashes.

And it's free so no complaints there! I am not in any way associated with the makers of the app, and I'd love to hear anyone else's experience with it. is a hash lookup service. I'm still testing and getting to know it, but so far I'm liking it a lot. So for me DupeGuru is the only app so far that does what I want. This allows you to find photos which are similar but not identical, and it allows you to find files that are duplicates but for some reason one version has changed file size or modification date, etc. In that mode the app is visually bitmapping and comparing each photo for similarity, not simply hashing the files. But you really should read the documentation to understand why. Scanning by content is relatively fast, but when you use its fuzzy method for photo scanning, it can take ages for large amounts of data. As far as DupeGuru being slow, it depends how you use it. It also gives me control over whether I want to trash the duplicates or move them to another directory, which is a nice safety feature as I'm testing the app and deciding if I can trust it. Because I have designated my Lightroom folder as "Reference," no files will be removed from my Lightroom folder-only the external files will be moved or deleted.
In my workflow this is critical-I am using my Lightroom photo library as the reference directory, and scanning other directories and drives for duplicate photos. Why other apps overlook this feature is beyond me. The thing I like best about it (and this is a feature I have not found on ANY other apps so far) is the ability to designate a directory as a "Reference." Essentially you are marking that directory as the original, and no files will be removed from that directory. It's an app more for experts than Gemini and most of the others in the app store. It's definitely for someone who wants a lot of control over the process. It DOES use MD5 hashes to compare if your scan type is "Contents." The scan methods/options are explained well in the documentation here: I have only been using the app for a couple days, so I'm still testing it and getting familiar with it. I have been testing a number of duplicate finder apps recently, and so far DupeGuru is by far the best-for me. These are some that were suggested in the previous posts: Was wondering if anyone had any better suggestions? :) Most of the posts are outdated that i found about these apps. if its not MD5 values then its not really a good method. Also dupeguru does not show you a preview and i dont know what it bases its 100% match on.
it takes ages to load though which i think would not be necessary right? ive seen other applications create a database of your files way quicker. And i only want the duplicates to be removed from the 2015 folder and not the 2016. One of them is named 2015, and the other 2016. My main problem is that i have two folders. I was just wondering if someone had experience with any duplicate image/files finders. Hello ive been browsing some of the posts here.
