md5 dll

[Mark Carter]

I'm looking for a DLL, and header files, that do MD5 check-summing. It's
suprisingly difficult to locate.

No. Not 15 seconds. For starters it's payware, not free. And it's a
utility, not a DLL. There's some mention about developers, but it's for
PHP, which is of no interest to me.

Why anyone would *buy* an md5 utility is beyond me, esp. when you can
get all sorts of them free. Sounds more like a scam operation than
anything else. They want $1499 for an "enterprise worldwide license". Do
me a favour.

Sorry Dave, just picked one off Google to try to help.
Is this it ?.

Maybe, it's difficult to tell. Apparently freeware, but it's not
stipulated if it includes the header files and all the gumf need to get
it to work. You can't just download it - you have to "request a
download", which requires submitting an email address. Smells fishy.

Like I say, it's a suprisingly vexed question.

Just been to google again, and typed in linux+md5+checker
Probably your best direction, `cos linux loves Free !.

"What’s included in this release:

<snip>

2. md5lib.dll: A modified version of Ulrich Drepper's MD5 checksum
implementation in Windows DLL format."

Binary of the DLL and source available. I haven't ever tried to use the
DLL for programming myself, but the site was lurking in my bookmarks.

Alternatively, have you considered simply using the Windows CryptoAPI?
Depends what compatibility you want your program to have though...

HTH

Thanks. I saw the DLL, but couldn't see the sources offhand. I had the
quickest of looks at UnixUtils on Sourceforge, but "I wasn't convinced".
In the end I decided that rolling-my-own was actually the easiest
option. I've managed to knock something up, and even got it linking with
Corman Lisp - which was the original object of the exercise, anyway.

I basically just hacked the code from RSA Data Security, Inc. using
Pelles C (which I'm happy to advocate, as I've used it to create DLLs
before). The code seems redistributable provided one credits RSA Data
Security, Inc.

Hopefully I'll make the DLL publically available in the none-too-distant
future, that way everybody can get their hands on a nice wrapped up
version of MD5.
