Hello 聲gel,

"This class can create hash of key string using MD5 multiple times.

It extracts the characters of the of a given key value and encodes them and combine them with a seed value.

The result is hashed multiple times with the MD5 algorithm."

First: The name cryptor maybe misleading as hashing is not a real encryption, if, it is just an oneway encryption.

Second: Md5 could be mentioned as "out of date" as there are shaX and maybe more modern hashing-algos.
And for single hashing there are rainbowtables available.

And: Imho, all over the internet you may read: Using an hash algo multiple times has no advantage, in worst case the opposite.

But I do not want to discourage you, I just believe you can do even better!

Hi, and thank you.

I will update them with a new crypt system (not md5).

Bye!
