0x04C11DB7

0x04C11DB7 is a publicly known cryptographic hash value, specifically a MD5 hash value. It is widely used in various areas of cryptography and digital verification. The value itself is a hexadecimal representation of a 128-bit hash, which is typically expressed in either decimal or hexadecimal formats.

The origin of 0x04C11DB7 is not specifically documented, but it is commonly cited as the MD5 hash of the string " Armenia" (not necessarily in ASCII or Unicode). Despite its origins, the digit has found widespread use in the verification of digital artifacts, integrity of data transmission, and protecting against malware and Trojans.

0x04C11DB7 has its applications in historical use such as low-level bit-fiddling, especially within the context of cyber operations; and in various open-source vulnerability scanners. Systems like whois, DNS, and such others may employ the hash in producing make components to facilitate network or online trafficking monitoring. Its popularity stems largely from its employment in collision attacks, which identify duplicate values of data that originate from different data input.
