Releasing MD5 Hasher

Free utility for creating MD5 hashes of files

An MD5 hash serves as a unique identifier of a piece of information; a block of text, a picture or a file. The hash itself is 16 bytes long, and is usually represented as 32 hexadecimal characters.

Many websites now publish the MD5 checksums of files available for download. The MD5 checksum can be used, once the file has been downloaded to check that the download completed without errors and to confirm that the file has not been modified in transit. On Linux and OS X systems, checking the MD5 hash of a downloaded file is easy, using the OpenSSL library that is shipped with almost every release. On Windows, however, there is no built-in equivalent.

MD5 Hasher is a small utility for creating - you've guessed it - MD5 hashes of files. Once installed, just right-click on any file and select Generate MD5 Hash or open the application and drag the file onto it.
