"...You will find, under certain circumstances, that it is possible to forge an MD5, provided
that you created both hashes"
Not many visitors to my site have government-regulated supercomputers. Do your visitors? The
likelyhood that it is crackable/forgable is extremely small on its own. Plus the fact that nobody
visiting your site will have a computer powerful enough to do so, MD5 is extremely valuable to use.
(This is unless, of course, you have a large ego and think people with supercomputers will be trying
to crack your crappy shopping cart, or whatever)
