Change log

  • Changed command line arguments to proper options
  • Added hashing of files as well as strings

Usage

md5 [option] [string [string [...]]]

Options

  • h Print this help file
  • v Print version info
  • f String(s) is/are files
  • p Use plain hash
  • b Use base64 hash
  • x Use HEX hash (default)

String

This is the input to be MD5 encoded. This can be a single string, a space seperated list of strings, a file name or space separated list of file names.

Required Perl Modules

  • Digest-MD5-File

Installing

Linux

Put file in /usr/bin and chmod 755

May have to add the perl package "Digest-MD5-File" depending on distro and standard perl install.

Ready to use.

Windows

This may sound funny but install perl first. Windows does not come with perl installed as standard.

You can get perl by going to https://www.perl.org/get.html

Add the perl package "Digest-MD5-File" (ppm install Digest-MD5-File for ActiveState Perl)

Remove the first line of the script !#/usr/bin/perl

Put file in a standard location and add that location to the PATH variable.

You may have to add the ".pl" extention to the PATHEXT variable.

Ready to use.

MAC

Unknown help would be appreciated
