Hi Richard,

Did you find a tool?
There are a number of freeware and opensource tools available for download.

eg
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/coreutils.htm

In the past I have used code from this site
http://www.fourmilab.ch/
which I have linked into openROAD to compute md5 signatures for banking
transactions.

Subject: [Info-Ingres] Ingres downloads,what tool should I be using to
verify the md5 checksum is correct?


Greetings All,

I have just downloaded the win32 version of Ingres 9.2,

The download page supplies an MD5 checksum so I can verify my download,
which is great,


But what tool / how do I check this value?


TIA

Richard

Why on earth wouldn't the ingres download be self-sufficient in this
regard?

Providing md5sums is a pretty standard way in open source software to allow
the integrity of downloads to be verified. Most projects wouldn't think it
necessary to provide a tool to calculate an md5sum because it's already
available on Linux and it's easy to get hold of any how.

I guess not providing an md5sum utility is like not providing Acrobat Reader
if you happen to include PDF files.

Hmmmm ... maybe its the Vicodin I'm on for messing up my back but ....

WHY ON EARTH would you use a utility inside a package to verify that
the package is "valid"?

If I were the hacker, I would make sure that supplied md5sum utility
in the package I "hijacked" returned the correct checksum.

Again, maybe I'm just stoned or overly paranoid.

At some clients, we are required to run md5sum from a CD deemed
to be certified. Now that might be a bit extreme.

But using the checksum program included in a package to
check the package itself is ... nuts.

To all who answered, thank you.

As I had downloaded the win32 version for trialling on Vista 32 bit, I ended
up getting
hashcalc from http://www.slavasoft.com/ as suggested by Martin.

Mind you, the Gnu toolset if it was available for win32 would be even more
useful.

Anyway ... If pigs could fly......

Thanks again

Richard.
