Command-line tool to compute MD5 has from text string?

Post #1 of 9 (584 views)

Is there a command line tool to create an MD5 hash from a text string?
I would like to store encrypted passwords in a database, but I have
having a tough time finding a utility to create them for me.

Thanks in advance!

Is there any other command-line tool for create hash from text string
instead of insecure MD5 (for example SHA-1 and SHA-2 family) ?

Thank you in advance

gpg --print-md sha1

$ echo <string> | sha1sum

No, that fails with courier-imap. I have cleartext working fine, but
when I set it up for crypt and then use the password based upon the
md5sum generated has it always fails.

Here is what I was looking for in my situation. I guess I wasn't
looking for MD5 at all!

perl -le 'print crypt("password", "ab");'

|"ab"| is any two random characters.

don't forget "-n":

$ echo -n <string> | sha1sum

otherwise, your string will have an appended "\n" which can be a problem if
you're trying to verify something like a password.

man openssl

(Try "openssl passwd -1" to get passwd-style MD5 hashes).
