On a Mac OS X v10.5 (Leopard) PowerPC, if I do:
echo "hello" | md5on the command line, the result is:
b1946ac92492d2347c6235b4d2611184
But if I enter hello into one of the online MD5 hash sites like http://md5online.net/, I get:
5d41402abc4b2a76b9719d911017c592
Am I doing something wrong? If I want to use MD5 on the go, how can I make sure what I'm getting on the command line will agree with the online md5 tools?
Works for me on Windows with Total Commander creating the MD5 checksum. Same as the online version. – Snark – 2009-11-17T08:04:18.510
Thanks, Snark. Rudedog solved the problem when using md5 on the command line, at least for POSIX systems. Give him a +1 if you can. I'm too new. – pellea72 – 2009-11-17T08:13:36.273
