What is the method for MD5 verification in Linux?
In Linux, you can perform MD5 checksum using the following methods:
- Use the command line tool md5sum: Running the following command in the terminal can calculate the MD5 value of a file:
- Calculate the MD5 checksum of the file located at the specified path.
- For example, calculate the MD5 value of a file named file.txt.
- Generate the MD5 checksum for file.txt.
- Use the command line tool OpenSSL: running the following command in the terminal can calculate the MD5 value of a file.
- Create an MD5 hash of the file at the given path using OpenSSL.
- For example, to calculate the MD5 value of a file named file.txt:
- Generate an MD5 hash of file.txt using OpenSSL.
No matter which method is used, a 32-character MD5 hash value will be output.
