Hi ,

I'm a novice.

I want to make a script which calculate, for a string given, the hash MD5 of it.

My method is :
1/ I create a file which contains the string
2/ I apply md5sum on it
3/ I print the result

It works, but the hash isn't correct, so, can you help me to find where is the problem, please ?



(Yes, i'm not english and sorry for my language level :/ )

Why so complicated and not as simple as this?

Yes, but...

The real MD5 of "Hello World" is : b10a8db164e0754105b7a99be72e3fe5
Tests on http://www.md5.fr/ and verification with the RFC of MD5

The MD5 obtained with md5.c compiled linux of "Hello World" is :

The MD5 got with your command is :


The MD5 of "Hello World" with my script :


So, there is a problem. I know that md5.c doesn't answer the same thing with my linux, cause of the endianess. But, with your command, I should find at less one of the two posible correct MD5 :/ (Note that my command is also wrong and different...).

(My real probleme is : I want to find the correct MD5, like it is in the RFC. I try by compiling the source in C, but the endianness of my system blocks me. So, I want to try by using md5sum, because md5sum is not affect by the endianess of any PC, but I but for now I can't.)

Thanks for your help

Thenkior

With md5 the string must be EXACT, Patsie's example string was not exactly the same. When I run the same with the correct string I get the same result as you do, HOWEVER echo includes a return character so needs -n...



OH look!! the same as the RFC

Ok, thanks and gg

Merci beaucoup, comme on dit ici
