MD5 Unknown file type

Post by Diogo Quintela »

The following MD5 file type is not suported CHECKSUM.MD5 as used by FreeBSD guys..

Code: Select all

MD5 (5.0-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso) = 677bf7566f8845cc46549aa167940042
MD5 (5.0-RELEASE-i386-disc2.iso) = e903b890272bde55e34eb81fe11ff80f
MD5 (5.0-RELEASE-i386-miniinst.iso) = 78aaff39c326b4f781820f1dd2340061

It seems that many windows programs that use MD5s have taken the liberty of creating their own file format. MD5 supports the most common formats (there is a pretty well established format for md5's on *nix systems using the md5sum tool). Since MD5 files usually have no header, I'm not sure how I'm going to distinguish between all of them.

However, keep posting links or examples of programs that are not compatible with hkSFV, and I will do what I can to get them all working well together..
(The FreeBSD example posted should be identifiable, since each line has a sort of header [MD5 (...) = ...])
