How can I encrypt md5 manually?

I am aware that you can do something like go to md5online.org or something, but I want to know how to do it manually. For example, you might encrypt it like by taking the length of it and turning the number to hexadecimal. I highly doubt that is how you do it, but that is just an example. I know it is impossible to decrypt it, unless you do a guess and check.

If you have openssl installed, you can use openssl to take the md5 hash of a string, like so:

echo -n "test string" | openssl dgst -md5

result:
