What makes you think they're using MD5 anywhere?

Even if they were, it wouldn't matter, because NeuralHash is non-cryptographic by design.



I looked at the link and looked at the output from the algorithm for the 2 images which was a MD5 hash. so from that :)


But it isn't MD5. It's not even the same length as an MD5 hash. I am confused by your reasoning.
