About MD4

MD4 (Message Digest 4) is a cryptographic hash function developed by Ronald Rivest in 1990. It processes messages in 512-bit blocks and produces a 128-bit hash value, typically represented as a 32-character hexadecimal string. Although MD4 was once widely used, significant vulnerabilities have been discovered, making it insecure for modern applications.
