MD5SUM(1)

NAME

md5sum — compute an MD5 checksum

SYNOPSIS

md5sum <text...>

DESCRIPTION

Computes the MD5 checksum of the given text (UTF-8 encoded) and prints it as lowercase hex, followed by " -" (as for standard input). The Web Crypto API has no MD5, so it is computed in JavaScript.

MD5 is broken for security use (collisions are cheap) — it lives here as a checksum and as a companion to hashcat.

EXAMPLES

md5sum hello md5sum The quick brown fox
