1. There is the chance of error when you put your text into a file and run md5sum. There can be no whitespace on the end of the string or carriage returns. If you produce it using "echo" you must use /bin/echo, that is, echo -n.
2. If you store that file then there isn't much point! An attacker could easily get hold of the file.
You can run md5sum from stdin like so:
Code: Select all
# echo -n '5&kr&t'|md5sum
