In this tutorial I will show you how to get an MD5 Hash of a file or a string.

1. Start a new Console Application project in your IDE

2. Download the file I have attached, unzip the files somewhere, and place them in the same folder as your project. Make sure you add them to the projects file list.

3. You will need to include the md5wrapper header:

#include "md5wrapper.h"

4. In your main function, put in this code, I have commented about what things do:

// This will allow us to access the md5wrapper class.

md5wrapper md5;

// This will store the md5 hash of a file called test.txt in a string hash1

std::string hash1 = md5.getHashFromFile("test.txt");

// This will store the md5 hash of some text into a string hash2

std::string hash2 = md5.getHashFromString("Hello World");

// This will print, the hash from the file and from the string

std::cout << hash1 << std::endl; << hash2 std::endl;

system("PAUSE"); // Remove if your using Linux.

return 0;

5. Edit the above code to make it do what you want, I have tried to make it as obvious as to how you can use it properly.

6. Enjoy. And +rep me :P lol

Can you offer some commentary on how the MD5 code works and what it does?

Hi! I don't mean to come across as rude and I'm genuinely asking this as a question i would like answered but could you not just read the header?

[WingedPanther]

Having implemented a modified MD5 hash, I know what it does, but would like to see someone explain it.

It's a shame you are using inbuilt functions instead of using your own algorithm. But what the heck, +rep.

Thanks

Really appreciated ;)

Edit: NVM I think I got it now, but what practical uses are there for this, may you explain? :)

thanks a lot

So what does your code do?

You didn't really explain what it does? What does the md5 function do?

Why do we need access to the md5wrapper?

Nice class, helped my a lot.
