Synopsis

Unofficial Name: MD5Temp

Memory Address: 8259h

Length: 16 bytes.

This area of memory is used internally by the MD5 routines (used by MD5Update and MD5Final.) It stores the MD5 registers which are being operated upon, which are added back into MD5Hash once a round of mangling is completed.

Comments

I believe this area is safe for programs to use as scratch memory, but of course it will be overwritten whenever an MD5 is computed.
