 comment My software is hosted on a “bad” website. Can I do anything about it?

 comment What is the Bible of Hashing?
I don't really get your question. A hash is just a BLOB returned by a hash function. Do you want to know more about hash-functions?Are you talking about cryptographic hash functions, or the fast but insecure kind used in most hashtables? Or about Hashtables?
