ASP.NET Core MVC MD5 Hasing is not equal with online MD5 generator-CodePudding

I trying to do MD5 hash. Im compare my result with 3 MD5 online generator. But the result is different. What am I doing wrong?

private static string GenerateHash(string value)
    {
        var data = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(value);
            data = System.Security.Cryptography.MD5.Create().ComputeHash(data);
        return Convert.ToBase64String(data);
    }

Calling the function:

ViewBag.Secret = GenerateHash("asd");

The result is: eBVpbsvxyW5olLd5RW0zDg==

But on the online generator the result is:7815696ecbf1c96e6894b779456d330e

(im not using salt)

CodePudding user response：

Try this way, reproduced in my local and it's getting the same value with the online Hash Generator.

        public static string GetMd5HashNewMethod(string inputNew)
        {
            using (System.Security.Cryptography.MD5 md5 = System.Security.Cryptography.MD5.Create())
            {
                // inputNew = "Palnati"
                byte[] inputBytes = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(inputNew);
                byte[] hashBytes = md5.ComputeHash(inputBytes);

                return Convert.ToHexString(hashBytes); // .NET 5  
             // return Convert.ToBase64String(hashBytes);
                
            }
        }

Output from Code & Online:

@kajahun123 - Yes, you are right we have to use .ToHexString() from .NET 5
