如果你真的想要返回一个字符串，而不是字节数组，你总是可以这样做:

String plaintext = "your text here";
MessageDigest m = MessageDigest.getInstance("MD5");
m.reset();
m.update(plaintext.getBytes());
byte[] digest = m.digest();
BigInteger bigInt = new BigInteger(1,digest);
String hashtext = bigInt.toString(16);
// Now we need to zero pad it if you actually want the full 32 chars.
while(hashtext.length() < 32 ){
  hashtext = "0"+hashtext;
}

Spring中也有一个DigestUtils类:

http://static.springsource.org/spring/docs/3.0.x/javadoc-api/org/springframework/util/DigestUtils.html

这个类包含md5DigestAsHex()方法来完成这项工作。

如果你不需要最好的安全性，MD5是完全可以的，如果你正在做一些像检查文件完整性这样的事情，那么安全性就不是一个考虑因素。在这种情况下，您可能希望考虑一些更简单和更快的方法，例如Adler32, Java库也支持它。

另一个选择是使用Guava哈希方法:

Hasher hasher = Hashing.md5().newHasher();
hasher.putString("my string");
byte[] md5 = hasher.hash().asBytes();

如果你已经在用番石榴，这很方便(如果你没有，你可能应该用)。

我已经使用php，如下所示

<?php
$goodtext = "Not found";
// If there is no parameter, this code is all skipped
if ( isset($_GET['md5']) ) {
    $time_pre = microtime(true);
    $md5 = $_GET['md5'];
    // This is our alphabet
    $txt = "0123456789";
    $show = 15;
    // Outer loop go go through the alphabet for the
    // first position in our "possible" pre-hash
    // text
    for($i=0; $i<strlen($txt); $i++ ) {
        $ch1 = $txt[$i];   // The first of two characters
        // Our inner loop Note the use of new variables
        // $j and $ch2 
        for($j=0; $j<strlen($txt); $j++ ) {
            $ch2 = $txt[$j];  // Our second character
            for($k=0; $k<strlen($txt); $k++ ) {
                $ch3 = $txt[$k];
                for($l=0; $l<strlen($txt); $l++){
                    $ch4 = $txt[$l];
                    // Concatenate the two characters together to 
                    // form the "possible" pre-hash text
                    $try = $ch1.$ch2.$ch3.$ch4;
                    // Run the hash and then check to see if we match
                    $check = hash('md5', $try);
                    if ( $check == $md5 ) {
                        $goodtext = $try;
                        break;   // Exit the inner loop
                    }
                    // Debug output until $show hits 0
                    if ( $show > 0 ) {
                        print "$check $try\n";
                        $show = $show - 1;
                    }
                    if($goodtext == $try){
                        break;
                    }
                }
                if($goodtext == $try){
                    break;
                }
            }
            if($goodtext == $try) {
                break;  
            }
        }
        if($goodtext == $try){
            break;
        }
    }
    // Compute ellapsed time
    $time_post = microtime(true);
    print "Ellapsed time: ";
    print $time_post-$time_pre;
    print "\n";
}
?>
