Understanding How SHA1 Hashing Works 🔐

Here I show you an example of how SHA1 works and step through the algorithm with a simple example.

SHA1 is a relatively easy hash algorithm to explain so it makes a good starting point to introduce you to how hashing works.

Let me know what algorithms you would like me to explain or have some fun with.
