MD5
Ronald Rivest designed MD5 in 1991. By 2004 it was broken. Here's the algorithm, and why real collisions ended its cryptographic career.
Hash Functions Beginner
Understanding the SHA-1 Algorithm
Secure Hash Algorithm 1 was for years one of the most widely used cryptographic hash functions.

Understanding the SHA-2 Algorithm Family
The SHA-2 family of cryptographic hash functions is the gold standard for digital security today.

Understanding SHA-3 (Keccak): The Latest NIST Standard in Cryptographic Hashing
SHA-3, also known as **Keccak** (pronounced 'ketchak'), is the newest member of the Secure Hash Algorithm family standardized by NIST.
Hash Functions Intermediate
SHAKE128 and SHAKE256
Most hash functions give you a fixed-size output no matter what you ask for. SHAKE breaks that rule: it's a hash function you can ask for any amount of output from, built from the same Keccak sponge as SHA-3.
