Hi,
Does anyone know of an MD5 hashing algorithm dll that is free and can be hooked up to give a file checksum. All I can find on the net is c source code and it makes my head hurt.

Anything already compiled or possibly vb.net source would be great - I don't really want to have to spend a day or two writing a dbp version if something exists.

Cheers

Karlos

I'm a bit stuck really - my server for the patch engine doesn't have CRC32 installed - I can call Linux 'cksum' but that uses CRC16. I do have MD5 installed on the server though.

Oh well - I'll keep plodding around.

Cheers

there are generic ways to code your own checksums, maybe search that topic a little and see what you can come up with?

i know PHP has the MD5 built in (i wish some devlopers would learn to use it more, still some poeple using plain text to store passwords, even more worse is people use their email account passwords to sign up the software and complain when their account gets hacked...)

I will do a search for you...

Whats so good about living anywho?

Cheers guys,
I think I'll look at doing my own. The problem with implementing this directly into dbp would be debugging as using a Perl library at the server side, I would not be able to get a step by step output.

The java script source code does look quite easy to convert over.

I just need to be able to see that my exe/libs and images haven't been tampered with whilst trying to keep the size and speed of the program down to the bare minimum.

Cheers
