What is a hash used for?

Hashes are used to verify data integrity, store passwords securely, and generate unique fingerprints for files or text.

Can a hash be reversed back to the original text?

No. Cryptographic hashes like SHA-256 are one-way functions — they cannot be reversed to reveal the original input.
