md5deep is a cross-platform set of programs to compute MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256,
|
|
Tiger, or Whirlpool message digests on an arbitrary number of files. md5deep
|
|
is similar to the md5sum program found in the GNU Coreutils package, but has
|
|
the following additional features:
|
|
* Recursive operation - md5deep is able to recursive examine an entire
|
|
directory tree. That is, compute the MD5 for every file in a directory and
|
|
for every file in every subdirectory.
|
|
* Comparison mode - md5deep can accept a list of known hashes and compare them
|
|
to a set of input files. The program can display either those input files
|
|
that match the list of known hashes or those that do not match. Hashes sets
|
|
can be drawn from Encase, the National Software Reference Library, iLook
|
|
Investigator, Hashkeeper, md5sum, BSD md5, and other generic hash generating
|
|
programs. Users are welcome to add functionality to read other formats too!
|
|
* Time estimation - md5deep can produce a time estimate when it's processing
|
|
very large files.
|
|
* Piecewise hashing - Hash input files in arbitrary sized blocks
|
|
* File type mode - md5deep can process only files of a certain type, such as
|
|
regular files, block devices, etc.
