All the "encryption" algorithms you listed aren't very useful security encryption algorithms and are completely useless unless you're writing a hash table implementation or checking if a file isn't corrupted even then SHA2+ is far better.
Theres no such thing as "random" anything on a computer. Having said that as a web tool its completely useless anyways since any programmer can just generate them from their native language.
What the point of this thread anyways?

I didn't know you could decrypt md5, unless of course its just a database of common terms. Also xcessive is right. Random numbers are generated with a complex algorithm, so if you start on the same number, you will always get the same concurent results. If you understand how circuitry works you'd know why But looks like a fun project nevertheless!

*Thread officially trolled
You can generate a random number from a array of numbers, can't you? x.x

Well really what happens when you have a Random Number Function, is that a complex algorithm that will generate a seemingly random number. So while it may not be a true random number, the algorithm is made to replicate it, so it's pretty much the same thing. We're just getting technical. Very technical

Very technical When I meant a simple function in php called rand() .
