MD5 hashing is a good opportunity for people who are downloading lots of files from internet. Feel free to use md5 hashing while distrubiting your files or feel free to use md5 hashing while controlling integrity that a file is downloaded from the true vendor.
As you can think md5 hashing has two dimensions. First dimension is hashing a file before distribute. Second dimension is integrity checking.
There’re some tools of course.
First Dimension : Hashing Files with MD5
Md5Sums(v1.2) is a very easy command line tool for creating hashes of files. If you want to hash a lot of files in a folder and write their hashes to a text file simply enter a command like this :
md5sums -n -e -b "Folder_To_Hash\*" > "Hashed_Texts.txt"
There can be more command line properties.

Second Dimension : Integrity Checking of Files
Md5 - Command Line Message Digest Utility is a good and light command line tool for testing files with the checksum in our hands. For download click here ( Mirror on Focus on Code). Thanks to John Walker.
If you really need GUI…
At that time try to use Secure Tray Util (v3.95.00). The program will copy itself to system tray so you can access it whenever you want easly. Program is not only for md5 hashing. It can hash your files with most hash algorithms. For download click here ( Mirror on Focus on Code) Thanks to Sarah Dean.
