I thought MD4 was variable too, but I guess not!

Surprised to see HAVAL mentioned, didn't think it was that common.

I feel like I saw a question about SHA and its fixed length in a practice exam, but I'm confused about the others.

HAVAL is definitely the one that can produce variable length hashes, I think it can be configured for different lengths.

I'm a bit confused on this one. I know the differences between MD5, SHA, and HAVAL, but I can't remember which one specifically produces a variable-length hash value. I'll have to review my notes and make an educated guess.

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. MD5 and SHA are both fixed-length hash functions, so they're out. HAVAL is a variable-length hash algorithm, so that's my best guess.

Hmm, I'm not entirely sure about this one. I know MD5 and SHA are commonly used hash functions, but I can't recall if they produce variable length outputs. I'll have to think this through carefully.

I'm pretty sure HAVAL produces a variable length hash value, so I'll go with option C.

HAVAL? More like YOLO-val, am I right? Alright, time to make my best guess and hope for the best.

Variable length hashes? What is this, a choose your own adventure book? Just give me the fixed length option and let's move on!

MD5 and MD4 both produce fixed-length hashes, so those can't be the answer. I'm going with HAVAL.
