Can you give some references?
Yes, MD5 does have some weaknesses (so SHA1 would probably be better),
but as far as I know it's not "fairly easy to crack". (I must search
the Dobbertin paper, which probably found the first serious design
flaws in MD4, but IMHO no real attacks in practice until now for
MD5. Are there any newer papers about this?)
